Talk:Shandia

Shandorians?
Um... where does that come from? Karugara is being introduced in chapter 286 as

シャンドラの大戦士 (シャンディア)

Shandora no Daisenshi (Shandia)

which means Great Warrior of Shandora (Shandia), and I haven't seen something mentionned like シャンドラ人 (shandora-jin) which leaves "Shandorians" as English translation. -- [ defchris ] · [ Diskussion ] · http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/intern/de/images/thumb/a/a4/C2.png/15px-C2.png · 07:14, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

Old post, but I also wonder where "Shandian" came from as opposed to "Shandorian" or "Shandia". Is there any kind of basis for using one of those names over the others? And what about the name of the Shandian Chief, is that also conjectural based on this? 02:26, October 3, 2013 (UTC)

I think you should just ask klobis about that. 05:37, October 3, 2013 (UTC)

"Shandians" is wrong name. Shandora people are "Shandia". --Klobis (talk) 00:13, October 5, 2013 (UTC)

So, wherever there is "Shandian" or "Shandorian", we change it to "Shandia" ?

If Shandia is the correct name, the people are Shandians. If it's Shandora, the people are Shandorans or Shandorians. 14:56, October 5, 2013 (UTC)

Let's trust the Japanese expert. 14:57, October 5, 2013 (UTC)

I think what Klobis ment is that the city is "Shandora" and the people are "Shandia".

But that doesn't answer the problem. If they are Shandia, why not Shandians? 15:00, October 5, 2013 (UTC)

Klobis, do you mean like the people group, the nation, is called Shandia? 15:01, October 5, 2013 (UTC)

Dunno, that's how Oda decided to name them I guess. Think of it kinda like a latin plural.
