To implement Jewish characters into the game, I am thinking we could use a new decision for hiring courtiers in which a random Jewish character can have a chance to be hired. Add it in as an option with a low percent chance (1-5%) to be Jewish. I would make this available so Sephardic Jews would appear in Iberia, Azkenazi Jews in parts of Europe, Mizrahi Jews in Arabia and Beta Israel in Ethiopia.

For Khazars, I'd add an event where a Rabbi offers to come to your court, and if accepted, over time another event may fire for any of your courtiers/family to adopt Judaism.

Names are derived from Punic/Phoenician names (since they do have similar naming patterns, almost unchanged) along with names from Latino-Punic inscriptions. And many of these name patterns do have commonalities with names from other Semitic languages.

If I could, I could try to reconstruct neo-Punic versions of Greek names.

Awesome find, Thure! :)

If we mixed those with some Nordic-sounding Russian names such as Igor, along with some more general Old Norse names (there's a list here somewhere I think) we could probably come up with a pretty good list. What about female names though? Any ideas?
 
Isn't the better solution to see how the Norse names change, then try to do it to names not listed and then ask a Russian if it looks especially unnatural to him?

Nice Berber list, Bloodmerchant.

Do you know which characters/dynasties ought to be Berber at present?
Click to expand...

This is a pre-Islamic Berber or post-Islamic Christian Berber list, so they would have been represented by Maghrebi Arabs. I've been trying for an event that converts Christian provinces in North Africa with Maghrebi Arab culture to the new Berber culture (since there were at least four Christian bishoprics in Africa from the 11th century)
 
Khitan names are a big problem to compile together (probably even worse than Pictish), not only there's a problem with the female names, but male names as well in the actual Khitan language (I'm not talking about sinicized names, but if I do, I have to use a Middle Chinese reconstruction, which isn't 100% accurate, but at least better than nothing). Plus, the language is almost entirely undeciphered, which is a pain in the ass. If the names come out sounding either too awkward or something, there's always the Mongol lists (to which it is one of its closest relatives).

Examples:

Hechen (何辰) -> Ghâjin
Mer-gan (Hanzi : 勿于; 勿干 pinyin : Wuyu) -> Mütkân
Duomi Khagan (多彌可汗) -> Tâmyä

I find eastling.org's reconstructions to be quite confusing, Chinese-only, but has most characters. starling.rinet.ru on the other hand has a tool that is available in English, but does not have most of the Chinese characters in Middle Chinese.

But by far, my reconstructions are probably far worse than what scholars actually have regarding how Khitan sounded like.

There are several closed systems of Khitan lexical items for which systematic information is available.[5] The following is a list of words in these closed systems that are similar to Mongolic. Mongolian equivalents are given after the English translation:

Seasons: heu.ur (spring=havar), ju.un (summer=zun), n.am.ur (autumn=namar), u.ul (winter=uvul).

Numerals: dz.ur.er (second=jir means two in Middle Mongolian), hu.ur.er (third=gurav means three in Mongolian), durer/duren (fourth=durvun), tau (five=tav), t.ad.o.ho (fifth=tavdahi), da.lo.er (seventh=dolo), is (nine=yesu), jau (hundred=jagun), ming (thousand=mingan). The Tungusic numerals of the Jurchen language differ significantly: three=ilan, five=shunja, seven=nadan, nine=uyun, hundred=tangu.

Animals: te.qo.a (chicken=taqia), ni.qo (dog=noqai), s.au.a (falcon=showoo in Daur, shuwuu means bird in Mongolian), em.a (goat=imaa), tau.li.a (rabbit=taulai; in Tungusic rabbit=gulmahun), mo.ri (horse=mori), uni (cow=uniye), mu.ho.o (snake=mogoi)

Directions: ud.ur (east=dorno), dzi.ge.n (left=jegun), bo.ra.ian (right=ba.ra.un), dau.ur.un (middle=dumda), xe.du.un (horizontal=kondelen), ja.cen.i (border=jaqa)

Time: suni (night=suni), n.on/n.on.de (for generations=onod, also "urug-in urugt"), ai (year=ai, uye), un.n/un.e (now, present=onoo)

Personal relations: c.i.is (blood=cisu), mo ku (female=em kun), deu (younger brother=de'u), n.ai.ci (friend=naiz), na.ha.an (uncle=nagacha), s.ia/s.en (good=sain), g.en.un (sadness, regret="genu-" means "to regret" in the letter of Arghun Khan), ku (person, man=kun, kumun)

Tribal administration: cau.ur (war=cagur, as in "tsa'urgalan dairakh"), g.ur (country=guren), nai/nai.d (heads, officials, "-d" is a plural suffix=noyan, noyad for plural), t.em- (to bestow a title=temdeg), qa (khan=qan), k.em (decree=kev refers to the law decreed by the tribal assembly, as in Yeke Kev or Great Law), us.gi (letter=useg), ui (matter=uil), qudug (blessed=qudug), xe.se.ge (part, section, province=keseg), ming.an (military unit of thousand=mingan),

Basic verbs: p.o (to become=bol-okh), p.o.ju (raise=bosgo-kh), on.a.an (fall PAST TENSE=unasan), x.ui.ri.ge.ei (to transfer=kurge-kh), u- (give=ug-ukh), sa- (to reside=sa'u-kh or suukh), ci.er (inscribe PAST TENSE=siileruun), a- (to be=a-kh, for example "savandaa akh aj l" in the Altan Tobchi in which the root "a-" in both "akh" and "aj" "means "to be")

Natural objects: eu.ul (cloud=e'ul or egule), s.eu.ka (dew=siguder), sair (moon=sar; in Tungusic moon="biya"), nair (sun=nar), m.em/m.ng (silver=mongo)
Click to expand...

Their current extant descendants, the Daurs, are almost entirely Sinicized, so I'll have to try to find actual non-Chinese Daur names possibly as substitutes.

Saxon Provinces

Some map:
Herzogtum_Sachsen_um_1000.jpg
altsaechsisch.jpg

And all eastern Provinces who became later German should became Saxon (Bot not Silesia)

benrather.gif

Saxon Dynasties

This is much harder. I think (With a rename of the dynasty in a Low German (Old Saxon was Old Low German) form):

226 - vun Askanien
435 - Brunon
656 - Billung (Of course!)
661 - vun Stood
669 - Liudolfing (The Ottonians are from Old Saxon so...)
7122 - vun Stemmert
7282 - Immeding
100087 - vun Ossenbrügge
101557 - vun Goseck

Om not sure with:
528 - vun Wettin (House of Wettin - The have say from herself that they are descendants of Widukind... Whos really a Saxon, so)

Okay, some names are drawn from modern Daur names such as Mersentei or Engkebatu (which can sound exactly like many Mongolian names), others are improvised such as Miyanggetu or Miyangëdei. The base however, are the names from 'Secret History of the Mongols'. And Modern Daur is remarkably similar to Mongolian.
