Namebases
Narsilium’s 700+ Languages Namebase

This namebase consists of around 700+ languages, being a blend of ancient, medieval and modern ones. It includes languages from all around the world (Tetun from East Timor, Yoruba from Africa, Tlingit from North America, Maltese from Europe and the list goes on). 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.

Some examples of the bases included are:

Sacred (Religious) Languages – Classical Arabic, Hebrew, Aramaic, Syriac, Pali, Old Church Slavonic, Koine Greek, Vedic Sanskrit

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, Anglo-Saxon/Old English, Byzantine Greek, Old Czech, Old Polish, Middle Polish

There’s a total of 630 name bases. The first 200-300 languages 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, I don’t know when.

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, I still want to thank them for being a great inspiration.

Namebases
Middle Earth(ish) Namebase

Names are taken from multiple sources, mostly LOTR wikis including The Notion Club Archives and then put into ChatGPT. ChatGPT is asked to either put the names into a fitting format or try to come up with new names in the same style, the majority is taken directly from notionclubarchives.fandom.com and gets put into the compatible format. Bear in mind that this is not supposed to be completely similar to the style of the actual names Tolkien used, some are taken from his creations, some are taken from Tolkien-inspired or tolkien-based sources featured on the website.

There is also an alternative version with older and unsorted namebases. The Valarin and Old Entish names were taken from ChatGPT while the Melkian and Ilkorin & Doriathrin ones were put into a markov generator as there weren’t enough samples to meet the required number of words & variety.

All 34 available bases are as of the 1st of November 2023: Adûnaic, Avarin, Blackspeech, Dale, Dorwinic, Drúedain, Dunlendic, Eastron, Edainic, Entish, Goldogrin, Halethian, Haradric, Hillman, Hobbitish & Breeish, Ilkorin/Doriathrin, Khandic, Khuzdul, Lossoth, Melkian, Nandorin, Noldorin, Old Breeish & Eriadorian, Old Gondorian, Orcish, Primitive Elvish, Quenya, Rhovanian, Rohirric, Shire, Sindarin, Telerin, Valarin, Westron
