Esperanto places

[Junesun]

Looking at the names of locations (for travelling) in the newly-created Esperanto area ( ) , I think you really took abstract names too far

Instead of something like "<place> Forest (north)", I see "<place> No Fel" or "<place> Se Les" or "<place> No Hel" etc.
Am I right in assuming that that's not how it was supposed to turn out?

Is the place names in the diffrenent language parts of cantr supposed to be in thos languages? If so, I'd like to point out that the swedish names are almost unpronouncable in swedish...

Same goes for some of the French or German names, but I was talking about these additions to the actual name. E. g. if there's a town called Morn, there could be "Morn Forest (east)", "Morn Southern Swamps", "Morn Hills" etc. . These additions, after the name of the town, are more than a little strange in the Esperanto area.

yeah that is the same in the swedish area they are called "esfo" "wesfo" not unlike sounds that dogs make...

But I like those names! ...

Indeed, I got a bit tired of all the English, so I invented new words for 'north', 'east', 'forest', etc. etc. and applied them to those regions. Just get used to them ... Imagine them as left-over names of ancient cultures or something ... Have an in-character language expert who tries to understand their meaning ... whatever ...

In any case, they're not made by mistake

Of course, eventually we should have dynamic naming, so that all language groups can create things in their own names. But that functionality is not there yet.

Fair enough

Maybe in the future when the swedish area is a bit for devemoped. Poeple are still struggling with toold and food, nevermind cultural history

In any case, they're not made by mistake

That was really what I was curious about.

Sounds interesting...

Now all I need to do is learn Swedish and Esperanto so I can experience the joy of nonsensical location names

No, wait... *looks at Aki continent* Already done that
