Huge list of actual unitnames

Huge list of OOB names

Since the increased use of tools that allow you to organize your OOB within no time and apply filters onto your units so that they are historically names (example ART), I thought it would be a cool idea to have a huge list of possible unit names for both, potential modders that are searching for localization files and so called "roleplayers" that demand historical accuracy. If, at this point, you're heavily facepalming, let be told that a lot of people don't like pushing the "1st Inf Div." around in Russia and prefer it to be called the "226. Infanterie Division".

The first post will always be updated so you don't have to search 10 pages long for a single word you've been trying to grasp.


Historical or reasonable names come first, alternatives or ahistorical names will be seperated | by a pipe.

XXX symbolizes numerals (22., 432., etc), AAA symbolizes ordinals (1st, 2nd), RRR is roman (I, III, CCC)

This thread is currently a WIP, I'll finish the japanese one later and start a german one if this thread is appreciated and people are interested. Don't ask me about the japanese though, I have literally no clue. Feel free to contribute your exotic language though, I'd love to see some russian or proper spanish.
