Gallia Demonym

[Klaw117]

Ok, we all know that things/people from Liberty are Libertonian, from Bretonia is Bretonian, from Kusari is Kusarian, and from Rheinland is Rheinlander, but I have seen 2 different demonyms for Gallia: Gallic and Gallian.

Ok, I know some people are unfamiliar with Gallia, but...why are so many people using "Gallian?" There are many topics made by admins that clearly refer to things/people from Gallia as GALLIC.

Not trying to harsh or anything, but I have minor OCD and seeing the word "Gallian" was really starting to get on my nerves.

Thank you, so very much. I was going to make this thread, then my life exploded.

I was under the impression that they were Gauls.

You would refer to the people as the Gauls I suppose, when you would refer to things from Gallia as Gallic.

What about Gaullic? Sounds like things that Gauls make would be Gaullic.

[Derkylos]

Gaullia? Hmm...

Oh, and a Galleon is a type of sailing ship...

Gallia is actually the Latin name for Gaul, which was the place that the Gauls settled (present day France). While Gauls would be describing people from Gaul, Gallic would be describing people from Gallia. There's a difference between the two.

And I think you could still refer to the people as Gallic. Try using it in a sentence like "Hey, look at those Gallics!" When I say it, it sounds fine to me, like the way you could say "Hey, look at those Libertonians, Rheinlanders, etc."

Mine, for example. It just sounds better to me.

Gaulish is actually the language of the Gauls. Much like Nordic would be of the Norse. Further, Gallia is actually the greek word for France. No wonder they're not allowed to leave their region. :lol: Wiki is fun:
