Oriental Names suggestion from Balley
since Chinese is a Characterical language....i have to explain a bit..more
NAMING places in a Chinese way - properly...
Many who dont know Chinese but want to make a Chinese name would just simply find a dictionary and grab words, making some nonsense words (especially ones seen in tatoos...ugh)
Many Chinese places are based on a prefix or suffix plus a word to descibe the feature of the place
Geographical
- xian 山= hill / mountain
- yang 陽= sun (eg: Hanyang the ancient capital of Qin Dynasty, a South facing slope. In the Northern Hemisphere a South facing slope is warmer, Han means facing i guess)
- jiang 江= river
problems: words with the same sound
- jiang also stands for border jiang 疆....
- he 河= also river
- hai 海 = sea
- wu 湖 = lake
- tau 頭 = head
- zhou 州= region, province (very common in ancient China!)
- gang 港 = port
- wan 灣 = bay
- lin 林 = forest
- jing 京 = capital / big city (IRL, Beijing = North Capital)
Directional:
- dong 東 = east
- nan 南 = south
- xi 西 = west
- bei 北= north
Many of these combinations are used in real world (eg: North of the Lake = Wubei.). So for BM map I would have to choose some fancier , more ancient words. Also it is better to relate places on map
For instance: The Eastern Island on the map
- Donghaiwei = 東海衛 (Fort on the Eastern seas) (looks not so good in Chinese, okay in English sound though)
- Linhai 臨海 (By the sea)
- Longjing 龍京 = Dragon Capital / City (again rare in Chinese..but okay in English)
- Yunxian 雲山 = Cloudy Mountain...
or
- Chaiyunxian 彩雲山 = Visual sensational Cloudy Mountain ..hmm...
Wuyuan武玄 = Related to Battle, no geographic meaning but looks cool
More to come. I need to think awhile...hmm
