Orioni Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Over the past weeks and months, there seems to have been some discussion as to the name of our planet. Personally, I prefer to leave the answer to this open to personal preference. Many languages use many different names. Greek: Kosmos (world) Latin: Terra (earth) English: Earth, World French: Terre (earth), Monde (world) German: Erde (earth), Welt (world) Russian: Zemlya (earth), Mir (world) Still, for those who absolutely must know what to call it, I propose to do a quick call for feedback and ideas. Orioni: Alemi (world) Link to comment
Iverica Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) In my mind, Ivericans informally refer to the world as "Earth" (Common) or "Món" (Iverican). However, it is highly likely that it would be formally called Alemi in academic or scientific circles that use Oharic as a result of cultural influence or reference to a widely-spoken international language. It seems Alemi (or a similar derivative) would be a household or at least, widely accepted term Edited October 18, 2017 by Iverica (see edit history) 1 Link to comment
Sa Hara Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 The two official languages of Sa Hara are Arabic and Berber, with Arabic being the language of the elite. The preferred name for our planet is أرض (Ard) meaning Earth. 1 Link to comment
Cristina Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 In Cristina it would be Tero (Esperanto) or Terra (Latin) 1 Link to comment
Adaptus Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Adaptons use the language simply called Romance. It's an amalgamation of ancient Greek and Latin. Taking the simple semantics from Latin, with additional lexical and pragmatics from ancient Greek. So technically we would use both Cosmos, and Terra in passing conversation depending on the context.

Illyrian Union Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 In the Euroführer, we use the Russian “Mir” Link to comment
Sunset Sea Islands Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Ugh, I still feel the guilt for potentially starting this ongoing misunderstanding with one of my first polandball comics back in the day. :C As we have discussed far and wide during the stupid solar system struggle, our world is just Earth with different continents. So the official name should be Earth as well. What every nation calls the planet in their own language is up to them. (Although I really like the Oharic Alemi.) Link to comment
Orioni Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 @Sunset Sea Islands Earth is what the English-speaking nations call it. And this forum is in English. But for the sake of realism, I like to believe there are many different names. This discussion shows a glance at this rich diversity. On a personal note: I like Alemi as well, but Oharic surely isn't the language of science. 1 Link to comment
Iverica Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Earth will actually be fine. I just thought Oharic might have been quite a strong influence internationally considering the history. In any case, Earth seems the easiest to agree on and the least confusing to new members (I still honestly like Alemi) Link to comment
Sunset Sea Islands Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Alemi is such a nice word. @Orioni @Iverica 1 Link to comment
