This is the map of my conworld (conland?), Novanna. I'm sorry for the Latvian spelling of the names. The elven (Vaijerīna) spelling is in brackets Smile




Any questions? Suggestions?

Is that the whole world, or just one continent on it? It seems a bit too perfectly round to me (no offense).

The difference between the Latvian and Vajeriina (can I spell it that way? I don't have fast access to macrons) is interesting. It seems almost more that the Vajeriina names are renderings of the Latvian names into Vajeriina - Eljomna, the Latvian name, looks more complicated than Ellonna, the Vajeriina name. If you're rendering it from Vajeriina to Latvian, where do the j and m come from - wouldn't you be able to render it as at least Elona or something?

The names are interesting or simple in some cases, but what I don't like is the roundness, and of course, the mountain range, it looks weird, unnatural, but that's my humble opinion.

@TF, it's all because of the pronunciation of the Vaijeriina. Ll is pronounced lj and nn is pronounced mn. Hence the Latvian spellings.
@kyonides, what exactly looks unnatural about the mountains to you?
IDK, I kinda like the roundnes. And there is supposed to be another continent somewhere.

I may be way off-base here, but, just looking at the map and guessing:
Is this Puerto Rico as it would have been if it had been settled by Latvian elves?

*not sure how to respond*

To myself it more resembles Antarctica, as it would have been, if it was settled by elves with a spanish-like pronunciation Wink

But, no matter what, I kinda like it Wink
