Wu and I request the following:
On the RL Equivalents thread, change the following:
Peoples
Languages
"Phra" is an inappropriate choice for the people who live in Hanzen/the language spoken in Hanzen. In real life, "Phra" is largely an honorific meaning "holy", used similarly to the word "Count" in English as part of a title, or to denote that a place is holy or revered.
Hanzai would allow us to better derive several place names in Dovani (the name Hanzen can then be derived from the people, the Hanzen Shield mountains, etc.). It also sounds similar to Thai, which allows us to better mirror Thai names for certain things (Muay Thai becomes Muay Hanzai instead of Muay Phra, today).
If this is approved I will make updates on the Wiki to ensure it is reflected everywhere else.
On the RL Equivalents thread, change the following:
Peoples
- Update "Phra" to "Hanzai" (Hanzai should be the equivalent for Thai people)
Languages
- Update "Phra" to "Hanzai" (Hanzai should be the equivalent for Thai language)
