Okay, that makes sense.

I think that name would fit with on of the new continents that are decor only, as it implies these people came from somewhere else. We don't know where Austral originated from. If we were to designate a specific continent, there would be ramifications for the languages that are related to English IRL (all Indo-European languages) and the countries that have any of these languages. I wouldn't oppose that, but perhaps that would be a discussion for another time. Some changes based on the feedback so far: Central Islands: Same name Antarctic Continent: Keylia Keyli (uncertain IC origin, OOC origin is the name of the one who draw the map, Kyle) Mid-Southwestern Landmass: Crabria Crabry, coming from some old possible proto-Karnetvorian/Resentinian (RL Slavic) language stem for the continent: khrabry/hrab, meaning brave. It is also got into the Sedunnic language by mistake as 'Ksavbyu'. Western Continent: Cordilia (from Spanish 'Cordillera' referring to the massive mountain ranges in the centre of the continent, possibly specifically to the Cordillera Range on the border between Huawan and Qvait) Rainbow Islands: Same name Northeastern Continent: Bailtem (from the Sedunnic name 'Beilltemm', which I believe is used in other languages too?) Southeastern Continent:Suderia Bareland or Southland (a name in Austral referring to the only desert in the region and the adjoining steppes, or a variation of Suderia/Austral)

But I would still push for at least one of the continents/landmasses to have a variant of Austral in their name.

Shall we settle for the names in my last post? And go for Bareland for the Southeastern Continent?

I’m fine with using bareland as a placeholder name for now, and have no objections with the other names.

If there are no objections until Christmas, I will consider these names canon
