Nitish Sharma | 15 comments Hello,

I am writing a fantasy novel whose world has many geographic feature names from the various languages of our world. I've named things like mountains, rivers, lakes, etc. and done as best I can. I am not multilingual or a linguist though, so if anyone who has fluency or expertise in the languages below wants to take a look at a few of these names, that would really help me out!

If you message me or post here I can send you a list of place names. You can see if they translate to what I meant in English. The following lists the language, and in brackets (x) the number of terms I need checked. The languages I'm looking for are: Russian (6), Scottish Gaelic (5), Irish (6), German (8), French (2), Old English (3), Latin (5), Greek (3), Arabic (13), Turkish (2), Farsi (6), Hindi (5), Mandarin (12), Japanese (7), Korean (1), and Mongolian (2).

I also have one name I think is Thai and five names from various languages of Africa.

Depending on the response I'll try to respond to everyone I can.

Thanks!
