An interlingual homograph is a word that occurs in more than one written language, but which has a different meaning or pronunciation in each language. For example the word "done" is an adjective in English (pronounced /dʌn/), a verb in Spanish (present subjunctive form of donar) and a noun in Czech (vocative singular form of don, pronounced /ˈdonɛ/).
