Where can I get a list of country names in native languages?

php list native countries
JustAMartin picture JustAMartin · Oct 22, 2011 · Viewed 7.3k times · Source

I know that there are lists of country names in various languages available separately, but I would like to have a list of countries where each country is named how the inhabitants of the country call it. I mean the list like:

United States of America
Россия
Deutschland

I think it would be convenient for website visitors to choose the country name which they know well and also I won't have to store a separate country list for each language on the server - I can always display just this common list.

Is there such a list available on the Internet? Or maybe I can get it out of PHP somehow?
