Update: It's official: the word for "what local people call a geographic feature" is endonym. A word that non-local people use is an exonym.
Yesterday, Sandra, Suzanne and I were discussing what the Japanese call Japan. Which led to this:
A map of Europe that lists the countries by the name that people in that country use.
I wish I had one for the rest of the world. For now, this will have to do.
