There are many business entity suffixes used by well known world
businesses that are usually corporations.
An imcomplete list of some that I have seen are:
Corp
Inc
Ltd
LLP
LLC
NV
AG
GmbH
SA

please define in English.

Dear grthumongous-ga 

I started collating the information to present as a list. I then found
the following site which is very comprehensive and should meet your
needs.

Please bear in mind that the exact status and meaning of the limited
liability varies from nation to nation. You would have to refer to the
relevant country?s legislation to establish that. Some countries share
similar abbreviations and any differences are covered in list.

Omitted from the list and may be relevant are the following:

OOO - Limited Liability Company Russia
OAO - Open Consolidated Stock Company Russia
ZAO - Closed Consolidated Stock Company Russia

Sdn Bhd - Sociedad Berhad Anonima (Western Samoa), 

Anstalt (Establishment) Liechtenstein
Eingetragenes Treuunternehmen (Registered Trust) Liechtenstein
Stiftung (Foundation) Liechtenstein
Treuhanderschaft (Trust) Liechtenstein

International Company (IC) Vanuatu
International Business Company (I.B.C.) Setchelles (& others)

For additional US names refer to this page (table titled State
Mandated Entity Name Suffixes)

I hope this answers your question. If it does not, or the answer is
unclear, then please ask for clarification of this research before
rating the answer. I shall respond to the clarification request as
soon as I receive it.
Thank you

Excellent. I like how we all speak different mother-languages but that
we organize money-generating enterprises in similar ways.  Also, I
like how the suffix AS is used in so many countries to mean the same
thing in their native language.

I can add a couple that aren't listed on
http://www.corporateinformation.com/defext.asp

Cyfyngedig or Cyf. - Limited
Cwmni Cyfyngedig Cyhoeddus or CCC - Public Limited Company

Both are permitted Welsh-language alternatives for companies registered in Wales.
