There's been a lot of people asking on the subject (well, Scott) - finally, all the secrets and subtleties of this important language will be made clear. Ancient historical secrets can be yours for just 5 erb - that's right, just 5 erb (plus 25 postage and handling).
Melangian Naming Convention 101:
There must be a ' after the third letter in the word.
There you are, you know all the secrets of Mel'anje people and their naming! Go forth and name in a Melangian manner!
Melangian Naming Convention 102:
There do exist further subtleties beyond a '. For example, it's thoroughly innapropriate to name someone Xxx'wassisnameIdunnohowlongthisthingisgonnagobutitstoolong.
The subtleties, as currently known, are:
There will only be three or four letters after the '.
The first letter of the name cannot be a vowel (preferably there is only one vowel in the first three letters, though two in the second is appropriate).
Significant names include parts (or a variation thereof) of Melangia or Sakat (as in Mel'Kat).
Melangian naming is quite similiar to Hau'Oli naming (though it tends to use more vowels) but is not, despite the ', bearing any relation to Micron naming.

Re: Melangian Naming Convention
Question: Is the ' pronounced? Many languages use that "letter" to mark a glottal stop.

From a distance I'm concerned about the rampant lawyerism manifesting itself in Shireroth currently. A simple Kaiserial slap on the wrist or censure by the community should suffice. - Jacobus Loki

I don't know what erb are, and I'm pretty sure I don't have five of them.
We in Ashkenatza sort of need as much information on the Malan'je as we can get our paws on. You wouldn't consider sending me the info?
