    That should keep you in silly names
    Wow, thanks! I really appreciate it! Are you a Star Wars fan by any chance? I think I detect some of that, lol. I could be wrong though. I have a name for some of the geographical sub-regions (mostly Latinate), but not for any of the individual kingdoms, or for the continent as a whole, so these should come in handy! I also may use some of the alternate names for places on different continents, once I'm done with this one.

    Go for it, I'm glad if it helps! I don't know if there's much Star Wars, I tend to just imagine some basic phonemes for a language and string them together. Then, sometimes, I make a bit of a joke of it and add roots from a language I might (vaguelly) know and get fantasy names that way. For the first one I used roots from my language (which is why I also took the trouble of writing a vague phonetic pronounciation ), the second I just went for gutturals while trying to avoid making it sound Arabic, and the last one is quite obviously partly derived from an alternate spelling of Italian.
