The official name of the country in [[Corean]] is 대한단국, usually simply translated as 'great Corean state'. In English, 'Corea' itself (Dutch: ''Corea'', French: ''Corée'', [[Amerikaens#Tussenlandic Amerikaens|Tussenlandic]]: ''Corrî'') comes from a corruption of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goryeo Korja], a Corean kingdom. Its earliest attested form in Europe was Latin ''Caule'', which became Old Dutch ''Core'' before transforming into its modern variant. |
