How do I name things?
The ''Premier of Tárrases'' is the head of government for the [[Tárrases|Duchy of Tárrases]], the chief executive minister of the cabinet serving under the [[Carapreta Dynasty|Duke or Duchess]], who is the head of state. The position was established by the 1920 Basic Law that serves as the autonomous city-state's constitution. Although elections have been declared "free and fair" by numerous international agencies, every Premier since 1920 has been a member of the Tarrasean [[Partido Soberano]] ("Partido Negro"). Thus the election process for the Premier is ''de facto'' carried out at the level of the party-internal election of the leadership of the party, however, since law allows non-party members to participate in this process, the selection is thus fairly democratic.

For the Ardisphere, names are mostly based on Spanish (Castellanese), with other minority languages too. When minority languages are used some areas, I try to include the Spanish in brackets, in the ''name='' tag, e.g. [[Lagartópolis, DP|<span style="font-size:150%">تَمسا</span> (Lagartópolis)]] - note that the Spanish version of a name is not always a ''translation'' of the minority name, but is instead an ''alternate name'', i.e., the two linguistic communities refer to the same place with different names.

Most of the minority languages in the Ardisphere are copies of real-world languages, e.g. Korean, Welsh, English or French. But I also have some made-up languages, such as Bofobundan, Mahhalian, and the various Ardispherian "native" languages (Altazorian, Lonica, Albalongan, Caruque, etc.). For all of these languages, these are made-up strings for the most part, following various phonological patterns. Some vocabulary items (especially Mahhalian, Caruque and Altazorian) have been borrowed but with alterations from native American languages or from extinct languages (e.g. Mahhalian borrows from Ojibwe and Sumerian, or Caruque is based to some extent on the native Californian language Karuk).

The Premier of Tárrases is the head of government for the Duchy of Tárrases, the chief executive minister of the cabinet serving under the Duke or Duchess, who is the head of state. The position was established by the 1920 Basic Law that serves as the autonomous city-state's constitution. Although elections have been declared "free and fair" by numerous international agencies, every Premier since 1920 has been a member of the Tarrasean Partido Soberano ("Partido Negro").
