.cymru is one of two geographic top level domains (GeoTLD) for Wales (the other being .wales). The word means Wales in Welsh.

== Proposal and use == The TLD was proposed by the British internet registry company Nominet, which has run the domain for the UK (.uk) since 1996. The proposal initially ran into conflict with .cym, proposed by the Wales-based, not-for-profit dotCYM organisation, which advocates for the Welsh language and culture. (.cym was ultimately assigned to the Cayman Islands.)
