Changed it to "Maltese, Phoenician (Hebrew accepted as a substitute) or Berber". Is that okay?

1% Endralonian (= Hungarian)
1% Zergonese (= Croatian)

1% other languages
The majority of citizens of the Kundrati Union are fully fluent in all of the three main languages, Kundrati and Selucian and Luthori; and many use all three, and/or mixture(s) thereof, at various points in their daily lives.

I notice the entry has been changed to "Basque or Latin". Could I query why English was excluded? The Cultural Protocol makes clear English/Luthori is one of the major languages, alongside Basque/Kundrati and Latin/Selucian:PRIMARY LANGUAGE

The nation title is also in English at the moment, BTW.
Accordingly, it's recommended to use Roman and/or Basque names for most characters, please; the occasional exception might have an English, Hungarian, Celtic, etc. name.

See the one you made on Aloria or Kazulia and others...English was not included despite being widely spoken. I was following precedent but on close reflection, there's quite some confusion about what the exact way of doing this as both approaches were adopted with no real consistency.

I don't know what you're referring to with regards to Aloria, since English is not a primary language there. Its on 35%, compared to 88% for Welsh and 75% for German.
Guidelines:
• Party names should be in both Welsh and German (English is acceptable but least preferred)
Aquinas wrote:You do have a point with regards to Kazulia, and I would fully agree that if key, long-term players in Kazulia came forward asking for English to be added, that should be sympathetically considered. However, it may also be the case that the Kazulian community feel their nation's character is better preserved by ensuring the nation title remains in Norwegian.

Aquinas wrote:For what its worth, when I was dealing with new Cultural Protocols, if there seemed any ambiguity about what the Nation Renaming Guide languages should be, I would consult with the players. If I was you, unless the Kundratis have directed you otherwise, I would include English amongst the languages. Especially considering they are currently using an English nation title. But obviously, this is your show not mine, so do whatever you feel you need to do.

i referred to it because the Alorians similar to the Kundratis said:Guidelines:

Reddy wrote:I am however confused by the unclear precedents you set which seem to use both cultural background and actual languages (something which is often linked) in alternation In the real world, it is not uncommon for a country, especially in the post-colonial world to officially use or speak a European or foreign language but still have everything named in their native tongues.
Reddy wrote:Whatever you are insinuating there, we do understand the purpose of this thread and value the input of players greatly as our many consultations surely show. If the Kundrati players do ask for English to be added, Moderation will be happy to so. The Kundratis have already been asked to change their nation title to reflect their adoption of Cultural Protocols and NRG.
