Reich (help·info) (IPA: /ˈraɪk/; German IPA: [ˈʁaɪç]), is a German loanwor cognate with the English reign, region, and rich, but used most to designate an empire, realm, or nation. The qualitative connotation from the German is "imperial, sovereign state." It is cognate with the Scandinavian rike/rige, Dutch: rijk, Sanskrit: raj, English: -ric; as found in bishopric. It is the word traditionally used for a variety of sovereign entities, including Germany in many periods of its history. It is also found in the compound Königreich, "kingdom" (Königtum), and in the country names Frankreich (France, lit. "the Realm of the Franks"), Österreich (Austria, the "Eastern Realm") and Sverige (Sweden, the "Realm of the Swedes"). The German version of the Lord's Prayer uses the words Dein Reich komme for "ἐλθέτω ἡ βασιλεία σου" (usually translated as "thy kingdom come" in English), and the Lord's Prayer in Scandinavian also uses the cognate word.
