Talk:Shaaran

The Player's Guide to Faerûn uses the word "Shaaryan" to describe the people of Shaar, and "Shaaran" as the language spoken by them. However, page 12 shows "Shaaran" being used both as a sub-race and a language. Would someone with the Shining South (sourcebook) please check (also on page 12) and see if they use Shaaran or Shaaryan? I think it is the more recent source (by a few months). &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 03:25, May 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * In Shining South (sourcebook) for 3e, "Shaaran" is used for both the people and the language. "Shaaryan" is also used for the people, and "Shaaran" and "Shaaryan" are used interchangeably for them. That's double-a, single-r, in all cases. No, that doesn't clear matters up. :)
 * Races of Faerûn uses "Shaaran" for both language and people, and I don't see "Shaaryan". — BadCatMan (talk) 03:42, May 20, 2014 (UTC)

Shaarans based in Native Americans?
Are Shaarans based on Native Americans? – User:V.novak98


 * It doesn't seem so. They might have a few general elements in common, but that's due to having a nomadic plains society. The artwork in 3e seems to have taken a few ideas from Native American dress, but that might be about it. — BadCatMan (talk) 08:47, May 5, 2019 (UTC)
