There is a Language in Hawai’i that is spoken by a few people. I believe it was started in the 1840’s by Norwegian settlers. My great-grandmother said that around the 1910s, the language started to be used to keep secrets, as the Americans were a bit harsh and totalitarian. So they started to take English words out of it. Then they tried to make it sound more Northern European due to the language bans. If there was a name for this language, it is lost now.

@Sindraug25 3 года назад

How about the name of the Moon itself? As far as I know, the Latin word Luna is the only name put forth for it, but I'd like to enter Mona into the contest. It's a proper name, it still sounds kind of like moon, and it comes from the Old English word for moon, so we'd be drawing from our own language instead of taking from others.

Gow do you convert names? I.E. From John in english to Ion in romanian. From Sandor in hungarian to Alexander in english

@Luca-vb3xo 4 года назад

Bung Hole with those names in particular I think it’s just how people in different places write them and then pronounce them. Like John->Johannes->Iohannes->Ion. I and J are often interchangeable and so are U and V. Other variants of John being Jan, Jean, Juan, Ivan. Sandor is probably a ‘romanianisation’ of Xander, being short Alexander.

Evan Pangaribuan The names for Eastern European countries entered the Persian language through Ottoman Turkish. So we have to look for the root in the Turkish language. Appearantly it comes from an eastern Slavic word for poles: Lyach. Which became Lechia in the Polish language and was rendered as Lehestan by the Ottomans and the term entered various middle eastern languages like Armenian, Kurdish, Persian and etc... through ottoman influence.
