[ VB ]
Overridable Public ReadOnly Property NativeName As String

[ C# ]
public virtual string NativeName {get;}

[ C++ ]
public: __property virtual String* get_NativeName ( );

[ JScript ]
function get NativeName ( ) : String;

The culture name in the format "<languagefull> ( <country/regionfull> ) " in the language that the culture is set to display, where <languagefull> is the full name of the language and <country/regionfull> is the full name of the country/region.

The culture's full name might not display properly if the system is not set to display the culture's language correctly. For example, if the CultureInfo.Name is "ja-JP" for Japanese ( Japan ), CultureInfo.NativeName does not display correctly on a system that is set to English only. However, multilingual operating systems, such as Windows 2000, display NativeName correctly.

The below shows the NativeName used for each of the available cultures.
