Copenhagen
(Danish: København*)
is the capital of Denmark, and the name of the municipality
(Danish, kommune) in which it resides. With its population
of 1,116,979 inhabitants it is the largest city in Denmark. It is
also the name of a county in Denmark, Copenhagen County— but the
City Profile (municipality) is not a part of this county but rather is a
semi-enclave of Copenhagen County. Frederiksberg ** is in turn an
enclave of the city of Copenhagen, also not part of the County
that surrounds both municipalities. The
contemporary Danish name for the city is a corruption of the
original designation for the city, Kjøbmandehavn, (the
silent 'j' was later dropped) a composite in Danish of kjøb
("to buy") + mand ("man") = "the
men one buys from" or "merchants" and thus the
"Merchants' Harbour"; København is pronounced [købm̩ˈhawˀn].
The English word for the city is derived from its German name, Kopenhagen,
but note that the 3rd syllable is more often pronounced
"hay" in English, not "hah", i.e. [kəʊpn̩ˈhɛɪgn̩]. Copenhagen
is home to the national parliament, government, and monarchy,
which are all situated in the heart of the city. By
