'''MOTTOES USED IN CIVIC HERALDRY'''
 
Mottoes are very common in the British-style heraldry (UK, Australia, Canada, South Africa, New Zealand), and much less common in other countries. Therefore the large majority of the mottoes listed here are from towns and councils in the British heraldic region.
 
As this page got too large, mottoes in the following languages are separated :
*'''[[Mottoes in English]]'''
*'''[[Mottoes in Latin]]'''
 
If you see a motto on the site that is not yet listed here or have any other addition, please [[Contact|mail me]] !
 
Only true mottoes are listed here, no town names in banners around the arms.
 
The mottoes are listed by language and sorted by first letter. For clarity no capital letters are used, except the first letter as well as personal or town names. A translation in English is provided when available.
