List of sausages

By country
Notes:- Many sausages do not have a unique name. E.g. "salsicha", "country sausage", etc.
- Sausages with the same name in different countries may be identical, similar, or significantly different. This also applies to names with different spellings in different regions, e.g. lukanka, loukaniko; bloedworst, blutwurst. The chorizo of many South American countries is different from the Spanish chorizo.
