Description

This namebase includes over 300 languages, mostly of which are medieval but also ancient & modern languages (modern counterparts of the medieval ones or languages which weren’t spoken until a certain time period). A majority of the languages are from the 9th and 15th-16th centuries. They range from Aboriginal to Inuktikut to Old Irish. This namebase works the best for place names, but you can use it however you like, for example as a name generator or word generator. I will release another namebase similar to this one but with mostly modern languages which was made exclusively for first and last names, which will be included in my upcoming collection.

Some examples of the bases included are:

Sacred (Religious) Languages – Classical Arabic, Hebrew, Aramaic, Syriac, Pali, Old Church Slavonic?

Ancient – Dacian, Phrygian, Thracian, Ancient Greek, Akkadian, Latin, Etruscan, Proto-Norse, Proto-Germanic among many others

Common Languages – French, Polish, Czech, Russian, Swedish, Norwegian Nynorsk, Norwegian Bokmål, English, Irish, Scottish, Manx, Cornish, Scots, Greek, Slovak, Montenegrin, Serbian, Bosnian, Croatian, Macedonian, Finnish, Estonian etc

Medieval – Middle High German, Middle Low German, Livonian, Latgalian?, Aromanian, Old Czech, Old Polish, Middle Polish

There’s a total of around 360 name bases. Almost all languages/cultures are taken from the Europa Universalis 4 and Crusader Kings III cultures, then extracted from Wiktionary’s language lemma lists. After that ChatGPT is asked to put the names in the correct format (horizontal order with words separated by commas) and then copy pasted into Azgaar’s Namebase list. Sometimes the names have to be romanized, if that’s the case I paste them into a romanizer/transliterator like the ones listed in the sources. If that doesn’t work I ask ChatGPT to do it for me.

The namebase will occasionally be updated, when exactly I don’t know.

 I would really appreciate it if you give me a suggestion on what I could add to either this namebase or the Middle Earth one.

This namebase is inspired by the works of Linguistics Inc, Dardamuth, Croborn, Lunii Maps, FishBugs, AS Mapping, NewMar, Kyo, EP, Wormfodder Delivery Service, Something, Manji and pretty much every other namebase creator. Although none of their works were used to make this (some of the languages are the same as theirs, for example the Coptic one and some others), I still want to thank them.
