This book is a first comprehensive reader on the topic of exonyms. It aims to highlight the exonym question in general from a multi- and interdisciplinary perspective. It examines the benefits of exonyms, the current trends of exonym use, and the standardisation efforts related to exonyms on the national as well as on the international (UN) level. It is supplemented by a bibliography of further important reference works. Most authors are members of the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names (UNGEGN), more specifically of its Working Group on Exonyms.
