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?

Sometimes it's simply due to places being referred to by different tribes or groups that once lived there. Germany, for example, is called “Deutschland” in German, which translates to “the land of [our] people.” Its English name comes from a tribe that resided there.
Germany is one of several countries that have completely different names in different languages. In French, Germany is Allemagne; in German, it's Deutschland; in Finnish, it's Saksa; in Danish, it's Tyskland; in Polish, it's Niemcy.
Most countries of the world have different names in different languages. Some countries have also undergone name changes for political or other reasons.
Take a look at the wikipedia article
list of countries and capitals in native languages.
