INNs facilitate communication by providing a standard name for each substance. A similar role is played in Chemistry by IUPAC Name s, however these are less suited to common usage, being typically very long and unwieldy. WHO issues INN names in English, Latin, French, Russian, and Spanish; Arabic and Chinese versions, although not included in the original scheme, are now also being issued.
