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
