No Jumhurri is actually Tadjik, republiek is Dutch.

Indeed. Sounded more Central Asian/ Iranian/etc than west European.

I suppose it's quite obvious why I was asking that (*points to name of country*)

Incidentally, Afghanistan (back in the days before the Taliban etc) was actually called 'The Jhammuriyat of Afghanistan' or something of that sort. I understand Urdu also uses the term, in addition to, perhaps, Pashtun/Baluchi/Kandahari.

South Retia has a large variety of languages (of my own creation). Here are my countries' official names, with their languages in parentheses and capitals in brackets:

Queendom of Kiaretiniru [Takaliapa]:
Kiaretinirui Rakazu (Ziotaki)
Ghæhl Raskãã Kigaþrés/Ghæhl Xròqq (Hleelzuuyaro)
Kingaþrés (Rimelso)
Kiaretiniruk Rakats (Kunggirak)
Mátaska Rakatsu (Pinniraki)

Confederatory Empire of Hleelzuuyar [Phenqult]:
Ghæhl Klélãtku Hléélzuuyar (Hleelzuuyaro)
Leizuyaruki Neauzu (Ziotaki)
Ghæhl Hléélzuuyaret (Rimelso)
Hleelzuuyark Turats (Kunggirak)
Hleelzuuyarki Marrakatsu (Pinniraki)

Island City of Rimelsu [Rimelsu]:
Kinga Rimelsu (Rimelso)
Rimelsui Neauzu (Ziotaki)
Ghæhl Klékiga Rimelsu (Hleelzuuyaro)
Rimelsukirap Turats (Kunggirak)
Rimelswi Kirrakatsu (Pinniraki)

Emirate of Kunggir [Ikeqqal]:
Kunggirrakats (Kunggirak)
Kunginirui Rakazu (Ziotaki)
Ghæhl Raskãã Ghælyarshoqul (Hleelzuuyaro)
Ghæhl Kunggir (Rimelso)

Chazunirui Rakazu (Ziotaki)
Ghæhl Raskãã Zarpult (Hleelzuuyaro)
Ghæhl Pinnira (Rimelso)
Pinnirrakats (Kunggirak)

The native names of the countries and their English names don't match up at all, BTW. The native names don't tell anything about the structure of government, except the Hleelzuuyaro names which sometimes incorporate the ruler's title and the Ziotaki and Kunggirak names for Hleelzuuyar and Rimelsu which show that they are autocracies.

The Imperial Dominion of Sdaeriji
Ziotaki: Sdaeriji'i Neauzu (if Sdaeriji's government is autocratic, Rakazu otherwise)
Hleelzuuyaro: Ghæhl Klélãtku Sdaeriji (if highly militarized, otherwise Klé Sdaeriji)
Rimelso: Ghæhl Kélé Sdaeriji
Kunggirak: Sdaerijip Turats (if not autocratic, Rakats instead)
Pinniraki: Sdaeriji Marrakatsu (if highly militarized, otherwise Rakatsu)

The Free Land of Rejistania
Ziotaki: Reijistania'i Hala'izu
Hleelzuuyar: Ghæhl S'hòòklé Rejistania
Rimelso: Ghæhl Sòòkélé Rejistania
Kunggirak: Rejistaniak Sizhats
Pinniraki: Rejistania Halitasa

I think the Chinese would be Zhongxin Shijie Gongheguo - the same as the Japanese without the kana. But don't take my word for it.

Just a note... "Dominion" in French is a masculine. (Again, unless you come from a French-speaking country that's not France and that may do things differently... ;) )

addified the rejistanian translations. It is *really* difficult to translate certain names, since names like "Eternally Holy Brotherhood of Buka Makalu" tend to degenerate into an endless stream of adjectives and adverbs.

Done. I hesitated a bit on that one; "la Terre Libre" would sound strange in French. So I made it "l'Etat Libre de Rejistanie", the Free State of Rejistania.

Bedistan's official languages are English and Spanish on Earth, and our own language called Noterelenda on our new offworld colony.

(Note: I take no responsibility for incorrect Spanish translations; I’m just doing what I can with 2.5 years of it in high school. ;))

English: Bedistan (The Greater Federated Democracy of Bedistan)
Spanish: Bedistán (La Gran Democracia Federal de Bedistán)
Noterelenda: Petísten den Adítereth (literally, “Bedistan of the Earth”, as opposed to the offworld portion where Noterelenda is commonly spoken)

English: Ariddia (The People’s Democratic Social Republic of Ariddia)
Spanish: Ariddia (La República Popular Democrática y Social de Ariddia)
Noterelenda: Arídia (Da Aridiata Socialere Democrática República den da Prente (literally, “The Ariddian Socially Democratic Republic of the People”))

BUMP

BUMP

OOC:I see this in forums everywhere so can somebody please tell me what it means when somebody says BUMP?

btw I'm not asking what the word bump means rather what context it's used in this circumstance.

BUMP means "Bring Up My Post". A posting in a thread brings it up to the first page again. Just posting BUMP means, that you want to draw attetion to the thread again after it left the easy-to-reach pages of the forum.

Atlantian is uses a different set of letters. I can't do it on a keyboard

English: The Really Big Country of Audioslavia
French: le tres grande pays d'Audioslavie (note, this is probably wrong) :)
Audioslavian: our fricken country dude
The Belmore Familian: duh?
East Spaamian: TEH ReERLY BIG COUNTEH OF OORDEEOSLAARRVEEAA
TnUIan: those bastards

By naming them in Francais et Anglais, you have already answered the question for us! Our two official languages are French and English, instituted diplomatically upon our creation as a seperate state.

Almost right... Le très grand [no e] pays d'Audioslavie. :)

De krankzinnige Robots van de Vertraging
Robots Fous De Retard
Verrückte Verzögerung-Roboter
Robot Lunatic Del Ritardo

'Lunatic retard robots' would be merely something like "Verrückte zurückgebliebene Roboter" in german, if retarded refers to intelligence. Otherwise it is correct.

I addified the names to my first-page post.

The Belmore Familian: duh?

It's Belmorian, get it right....
Anyway

English: The Communist Would Be of The Belmore Family
Belmorian: Commt Wuß zed fo Belmont Fam
French: Le Communiste Serait de La Famille de Belmore
Spannish: El comunista Sería de La Familia de Belmore
German: Der Kommunist Wäre von Der Belmore Familie
Italien: Il Comunista Sarebbe Della Famiglia di Belmore
Dutch: De Communist Zou van De Belmore Familie Zijn
Portugeese: O Comunista Seria dA Família de Belmore
Russian: Коммунист Имел бы Belmore Семейство
Norwegian: Kommunisten Er av Belmore Familie

German: Der Kommunist Wäre von Der Belmore Familie

The communist would-be's of The Belmore Family would be "Die Möchtegern-Kommunisten von der Familie Belmore" in german.

German: Der Kommunist Wäre von Der Belmore Familie

That would be the problem -- it works okay for single words, but if you try to translate an entire phrase, it's likely to be riddled with errors. I'd trust Reji on this one, seeing as how German is his native language. ;)

English:
The Democratic Republic of Terra Matsu

Mätsüêgo:

Japanese (Thanks to a translation, post the correct kanji/kana if correction needed):

BTW, what would be the best languages to base my Work-in-Progress language off of? I was thinking about Latin, or maybe Italian and Latin, Italian, and English. Actually, my question is more of a: where would I find materials to help me get really started with my language?

It depends on how it is supposed to sound and look like. I used japanese, vietnamese and esperanto grammar and invented new words.

It depends on how it is supposed to sound and look like.Could you elaborate on that?

Could you elaborate on that?
A european country, that uses a conlang wants in to sound and look a bit like the original languages and will surely not use japanese or Xhosa grammar or words. A nation RPed somewhere in Africa surely don't wants a language that reminds of colonial times.

However I think the language could use some Greek; where would I find materials to help me create my language?

Use a dictionary and a quick guide (I used a small book for travellers) to the grammar of the original languages and then you need much creativity.

French: Le Communiste Serait de La Famille de Belmore


Automatic translation... *shudders*

I'd translate it as something like this:
L'Etat Aspirant-Communiste de la Famille de Belmore

The Imperial Capital Province of Crimmond
-English

Die Imperiale Hauptprovinz von Crimmond
-Deutsche

Имперская Область Капитала Крайммонд
-Russian(Yes, it's a sucky translation. I don't speak Russian and had to rely on an Auto-Translator)

La Provincia de Capital Imperial de Crimmond
-Español

EDIT: I was close... I don't speak German that much. :lol:

Die Imprerial Kapitalprovinz von Crimmond
-Deutsche


the german word 'Kapital' refers to money and does not have the meaning, 'capital' has in 'capital city'. Change it to 'Die Imperiale Hauptprovinz von Crimmond'.
