'''Eswatini''' ( ;  ), officially the '''Kingdom of Eswatini''' and formerly officially entitled (and still commonly known) in English as '''Swaziland''' ( ; officially renamed in 2018), is a landlocked country in Southern Africa. It is bordered by Mozambique to its northeast and South Africa to its north, west, and south.
