Hungarian counties
Article names should ideally be just the Hungarian name of the county (e.g. Hont). There are some reasons to deviate:
 * In Slovakia the Slovak versions of the names are still used very often, so the Slovak names are used for the titles.
 * In case something else with the same name exists (a town) the title becomes X (county). In case a modern Hungarian county exists with the same name, the old county's article will have "former county" in the title, e.g. Békés (former county). Special case: Arad (Hungarian county).

Brief description: Kis-Küküllő is the name of a historic administrative county (comitatus) of the Kingdom of Hungary. Its territory is presently in central Romania (central Transylvania). Kis-Küküllő is the Hungarian name for the Târnava Mică River. The capital of the county was Târnăveni (Romanian, Dicsőszentmárton in Hungarian).

Examples
Hungarian counties:
 * Borsod
 * Hont
 * Bihar (county)
