I will post Amarrad later. It has many more words, therefore it will be more work.

If this is canon, please source it. I've never heard the terms Amarrad or Caldarian used to reference the respective languages in any of the novels. Also not the appropriate forum- Might want to try EVE Fiction.

It looks like a very butchered form of some kinda Japanese dialect.

Makes sense, as they're "asian".

Caldari is said to be Japanese and Dutch from memory (?).

I think some people said there might be some Korean in it too.

I guess the best way to be sure is by asking Diana. *snickers xD*

THIS IS WHY THE FEDERATION MUST BE DESTROYED!!

Oh? I figured Gal had the Asian roots due to the Jin-Mie? That and the Achura are originally apart of the Gal Federation to being with, I would have thought that the Gallente would have more of an Eastern Dialect then the Caldari.

I'm just wondering where the source is. =P EVE's Lore is a thing I dabble into from time to time.

Pretty sure nothing in the OP is canon/found in official lore. However, in 'The Burning Life' there's a part about 'Caldari Takeout' which describes the food as Asiatic. Additionally, there are references to Caldari culture in 'The Empyrean Age' that continue the Eastern themes.

All the player races have an Asian race. Achura, Jin-Mei, Khanid, and Vherokior. There were added in the Bloodlines expansion in 2006. Presumably to appeal to Asian markets if I am not mistaken.

I'm quite sure the Gallente have strong French roots. Seeing as so many of the systems in Gallente space are basically French words and most of the Gallente related stuff sounds French.

Nope, don't think so, very little Dutch about the Caldari. And I should know....Blink

Also, this thread has been moved to EVE Fiction.

I remember when this lexicon of terms was created by players, they named the language "Napanii", which I personally think is pretty cool.

While "Caldarian" is used extensively in "The Empyrean Age" and "Templar One" It's always made me cringe to read it, same with "Gallentean".

Typically Amarr, Caldari, Gallente and Matari are used when it comes to referencing races, and these are the standard outside the novels. Matari was actually a player created term that went into circulation back in 2004, and was adopted as canon because it works so well.

Oh, for reference also, I forget where I read it, but there was a player study of the languages of New Eden a few years back that summarised origins quite nicely and seemed to fit:

Amarr:

Latin
Arabic

Caldari:

Finnish
Japanese

Gallente:

French

Matari:

Icelandic
Old Norse

Of course, these aren't canon, as we've never really written anything in depth about the languages of New Eden, but it'd be cool to flesh them out at some point Big smile
