Everything suggests that 'Caldari' would be spelled 'Kaltari' or at least 'Kaldari'.
'C' is the second least used letter across all known Caldari words and system names. It occurs a total of 35 times, making up only 0.38% of the nearly 10000 characters known to be Caldari. This isn't counting the randomly generated names for Caldari toons, because I haven't found a way to export those yet.
The only less-occuring letter is 'F', which shows up 25 times, and get this: 'C' would be the least-used letter, except for all the derivatives of 'Caldari'.
Why the heck does your name not match anything else about your language?
CCP Falcon plz.
EDIT: I looked closer. Guess what? In all those other cases? 'C' never stands alone, it's always part of the letter 'CH'.
'Caldari' and its derivatives are THE ONLY INSTANCES of the letter 'C'. All other words contain 'CH'.

If we go through all the Caldari system names and known words (kresh, Ishukone, bakukki, Ichoriya, etc) there are no words with the letter 'c' (not 'ch') in them, except the ones derived from 'Caldari'. The letter 'c' doesn't seem to exist in the Caldari language, but it's right there in their name.
Fake space language being wrong is serious business.

To hell with those Gallente hippie scum.
Edit:
Though to be serious, I believe the planet (or maybe the system?) is named Caldar in Gallente. The name stuck after a few hundred years of being Gallente.
--Historian Gadget
I know the system is Luminaire, but I feel like Caldari Prime being known as Caldar is familiar... I'll have to look into that.

Which is about as relevant as the OP.
Frankly, your name looks Gallentean.

Raata, IIRC.
Khergit Deserters wrote:The Symbology and Iconography of New Eden That's a gem from pre-reddit days. That thread excepted maybe, people in EVE Fiction don't discuss that kind of stuff for advanced navel-gazing purposes. It's because they have an idea for a story, but it might hinge on some thing in the New Eden backstory that isn't covered or fully developed. So before they start writing, they consult with other writers for sources. Or if that fails, ideas or a consensus.
Thanks! This will be valuable.

A healthy interest in the fictional backstory of Eve does not consist of counting the number of occurrences of the letter 'C' in it's vocabulary. A 'double standard' on the other hand might be classifying anyone with a different opinion as you as someone who wants Eve to be a Hello Kitty simulator.
Don't underestimate me, kid. I'm counting every letter, not just Cs. And every vowel diphthong. And every consonant cluster. And their position in the word. Hit me up if you want numbers.

Source Actually all New Eden languages are mixes of dual languages, for example, Matari being a blend of Nordic languages and South Pacific (pointing specifically toward Maori) languages. Source and another source I can't unearth ATM.. Amarr-- Persian and Balkan. (Same sources). Why would this stuff matter? Because if you're familiar with the linguistics, you can name the character, city, or multi-legged creature in your story an authentic name. ( Pod & Planet fiction contest is coming in the Fall, btw).
Holy ****, I'm signing up for that. Can I submit Napanii documents with an English translation?

I can neither confirm nor deny these accusations.
