Ever wondered what your nation's name was in Kiravic Coscivian? Probably not. Well, here it is anyway: A list of the names of all countries, territories, continents, former countries, and bodies of water in Romanised Kiravic. List is attached at the bottom of this post.

Some of your names will have more interesting translations than others, but I hope you'll enjoy reading the rest.

Pronounciation Guide:

Kiravic isn't written in the Roman alphabet, so the names here are (pretty good) approximations. All letters are pronounced the way you'd expect them to be, with the following exceptions.

C,K C and K are both pronounced as 'K' is in English. There wouldn't be a K at all if I hadn't named my nation Kiravia.

X X is pronounced like 'ch' in the German 'Nacht' or 'kh' in the Russian 'Astrakhan'.

(V with an accent grave) represents the labiodental approximant.

Á is pronounced like the 'au' in the German 'kaufmann' and the 'ow' in 'power'.

 is prounced somewhat like the 'ay' in 'Ixnay'.

Ê is pronounced as it is in Portuguese.

Ē is the schwa sounds, as in 'Heineken' or the German 'meine'.

Ó represents the Open mid-back rounded vowel.

Ô is pronounced like the 'oi' in 'soil'.

Ō is pronounced much like 'ö' in German.

Ū is pronounced either like 'ü' in German or the 'you' in 'youth'.

Ú is pronounced exactly the same as the ordinary 'u' (as in 'lunatic'). The diacritic is for grammatical purposes.

Ś is pronounced like the 'sh' in 'shoulder'.
