Croatia - Name

Croatia is the Latinized version of the native name of the country: Hrvatska. The letter "r" in the first syllable "hrv" is rolled or continuant, which is a linguistic trait strange to languages such as English, making the word seemingly impossible to pronounce by some of those speakers.

However, not all other languages use the Latinized version, many use a form more similar to the native one. For example:

Hrvaška in Slovenian
Хрватска (≅ Hrvatska) in Bosnian, Serbian, and Macedonian
Хърватска (≅ Hŭrvatska) in Bulgarian
Horvátország in Hungarian
Chorvatsko in Czech
Chorvátsko in Slovak
Chorwacja in Polish
Charvatyja or Харватыя in Belarusian
Horvātija in Latvian
Хорватия (≅ Horvatiya) in Russian
Хорватія in Ukrainian
Horvaatia in Estonian
Հորվաթիա (≅ Horvat'ia) in Armenian
ჰორვატია (≅ Horvatia) in Georgian
Horwatiýa in Turkmen
Hırvatistan in Turkish
Xorvatiya ( [χərvátja] ) in Uzbek

The country code for Croatia is HR (per ISO 3166), so Croatian Internet domains end with .hr.
