(Arc 1) [Genesis] Language Inspirations

[Dirty Chai]

Read Here First Before Voting!

This poll is so that we can, with clarity, narrow down the language inspiration choices for our fictional tribe's language (group).

You will vote multiple times.

First, choose one of the top 3 choices:
Top 2 Languages
or
Top 3 Languages
or
Top 4 Languages
This will determine if we choose the incorporate the top 2 voted languages or the top 3 voted languages.
Only vote for one of these 3 choices.

Second, you will vote multiple times for any number of these language choices:
- Mayan (Mayan)
- Siouan (Siouan)
- Aztecan (Uto-Aztecan)
- Numic (Uto-Aztecan)
- Māori (Austronesian)
- Vedic (Indo-Iranian [Indo-European])
- Northern Iranian/Scythian/Khotanese (Indo-Iranian [Indo-European])
- Pashto (Indo-Iranian [Indo-European])
- Urdu (Indo-Iranian [Indo-European])
- Farsi (Indo-Iranian [Indo-European])
- Avestan (Indo-Iranian [Indo-European])
- Magyar (Uralic?)
- Turkic (Turkic)
- Ainu (Siberian)

The language family is added in parentheses.
I've tried to add every single language suggestion that has been made to my knowledge since the beginning.
"Numic" refers to Comanche, Shoshoni, etc.
And yes, Comanche and Aztecs are part of the same language family.

Try not to vote for more than 4 or 5 language choices.

[Dirty Chai]

We may need to do a second vote later to narrow down choices.

Or, better, I'd like everyone to narrow down to 3 choices.
Post those here.

(Really? Not many people are into Nahuatl?)

Okay, I'd like to change my vote from North Iranian to whatever option includes/is Nahuatl.

[Lord William]

where is Armenian? I vote for that

[Ace_General]

where is Armenian? I vote for that

\

Though what language family does Armenian fall into?

[Dirty Chai]

where is Armenian? I vote for that

It was never suggested in earlier stages. These are all languages that have already been suggested.

Armenian is an Indo-European language btw. It has a subgroup of its own, separate from Indo-Iranian.

Okay, I'd like to change my vote from North Iranian to whatever option includes/is Nahuatl.

Don't change your vote just to make me feel better
It is Aztecan
