Hello, could someone suggest a suitable fictional name for a south east asian country. It would be a mixture of Thailand, Burma and Cambodia in cultures and ideas.

Cheers

How about Asiatica or Carbombya?

Those countries are Austro-Asiatic, Sino-Tibetan and Tai-Kadai for language families. That's like saying a nation is like a mix of the Basque, Hungarians and Italians. Except of course Burma has more ethnicities than Austria Hungary. Maybe you could be a bit more specific as to which language group they'd be in? (That would help with figuring out a name.)


I don't mean to sound harsh or anything.:o

Predominantly a Thai language base, but I will be taking a mixture of history and cultures from Burma and Cambodia.

This is for a submarine TL that I am writing and have thought about being published.

Would like to avoid lese majeste...

Keep them coming guys.

I'd ask Xynrax or tormsen. They know tons about SE Asia. This list (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Ethnic_groups_in_Southeast_Asia) might also be helpful.

Cheers,
