Editing Endonym and exonym (section)

=== Native and borrowed exonyms ===
Exonyms can also be divided into native and borrowed, e.g., from a third language. For example, the [[Slovene language|Slovene]] exonyms {{lang|sl|Dunaj}} ([[Vienna]]) and {{lang|sl|Benetke}} ([[Venice]]) are native, but the [[Avar language|Avar]] name of Paris, {{lang|av|Париж}} (''Parizh'') is borrowed from [[Russian language|Russian]] {{lang|ru|Париж}} (''Parizh''), which comes from Polish {{lang|pl|Paryż}}, which comes from Italian {{lang|it|Parigi}}.

A substantial proportion of English-language exonyms for places in [[continental Europe]] are borrowed (or adapted) from French; for example:

* [[Belgrade]] ({{langx|sr|Београд|translit=Beograd}});
* [[Bucharest]] ({{langx|ro|București}});
* [[Cologne]] ({{langx|de|Köln}} / {{langx|ksh|Kölle}});
* [[Florence]] ({{langx|it|Firenze}});
* [[Milan]] ({{langx|it|Milano}});
* [[Munich]] ({{langx|de|München}} / {{langx|bar|Minga}});
* [[Naples]] ({{langx|it|Napoli}} / {{langx|nap|Napule}});
* [[Navarre]] ({{langx|es|Navarra}} / {{langx|eu|Nafarroa}});
* [[Prague]] ({{langx|cs|Praha}});
* [[Rome]] ({{langx|it|Roma}}); and
* [[Seville]] ({{langx|es|Sevilla}}).
