Local historic names of settlements and regions
Hail ye scholars,
I come with a request today.
I am currently working on settlement and region names to give to my mapper with the aim of obtaining the most historic and linguistically correct settlement and region names.
This means that settlement names (not always region names) must be in the language of the tribe/nation that held them at any point during the 1050-1450 era with preference given to older variants. While these have certainly changed hands over time, I am still most interested in what it was called in the language that was used then.
The list of what I got at the moment is far from perfect and I was hoping that with so many historians from so many different countries, maybe it can be drastically improved
Coordinates are just from the map I got them on at the moment, nothing to be really distracted by.
Iberian peninsula:
Northern Africa:
Egypt, Byzantium and the Middle East
Eastern Mediterranean
Europe
Far Eastern Europe and Russia
Central Mediterranean
Greater Britain
Thanks for any help you can offer!
Oh, and while its great to get them in the (old) local language, I do intend on keeping the special characters within reason.
If its just accents, I do want those - I actually missed out a few that I got on the actual map since I had to make this master list quickly.
