Guanche Update

New Guanche Culture
Maghrebi Group
No Primary Nation

Names taken from real Guanche people and their dynasties ONLY, I did not just copypaste Berber, although a few names are of Guanche with Spanish names

Guanche added to a singular province, converting in games started after 1479 and switching cultures in games started after 1496

Also added a first name to Spanish
Added some names to Caribbean and to Cigauyo, also being from Arawak in this case

3 New Cultures

1. Hadzasandawe culture in the Khoisan group with one province
2. Burusho culture, no provinces, but can be placed as its own culture with its own culture group.
3. Siddi culture, reflecting Africans of India, Iran, Oman, Turkey, Abkhazia, and Iraq. No provinces, but can be placed by a custom, it is in the East Coast Bantu group.

A Few new surnames added to Afghan etc

MASSIVE AMERICA UPDATE

Major changes to American Cultures in several places

20 NEW CULTURES

1. New Warao culture which includes the Guanahatabey and Macoris as part of the culture, based on linguistic theories. This culture has been added to the Caribbean group
2. New Paez culture group including Caran, incl Barbacoan and Paez, Choco culture, Cuiba culture combining several isolates/poorly attested languages based on a related ethnology they shared and geography the Jirajara, Timote, Boi, and Piaroa
3. New Malibu culture which is unfortunately poorly attested, and will be placed in the Chibchan group for cultural reasons only
4. New Nawa culture which is Pano-Tacanan, Witotoan, and Yanomamani cultures added to the Marnon group alongside the Chachapoyas and Jivaro
5. New Pukina and Uruquilla cultures in the Andean group
6. New Lule culture in the Matacoan group along with the Charruans moved there, both are not Matacoan linguistically, but it was a better fit than alternatives
7. New Katembri culture, which is isolate added to the Tupi group for cultural proximity reasons
8. New Chorotega culture added to the Otomanguean group
9. New Tolupan and Ciguayo cultures to the theorised linguistically supposedly linked Hokan cultures
10. New Biloxi culture
11. New Gulf culture group incl Calusa, Ais, Timucua, Chitimacha, Yukhiti, and moving Natchez and Yoron along with my previously added Tonkawa to the group
12. New Nambikwaran culture added to Caribbean group for cultural crossover reasons where Arawak and Carib influenced Namikwaran

Along with this needless to say provinces have been adjusted

Other Notable Changes

1. Het now has a province further up due to an alleged relation in the region
2. Mapuche have moved further up due to their connection to the Chango
3. Ge and Tupinamba have shifted provinces in some places where Paradox got the locations wrong
4. Pipil is now Aztek culture, to reflect the fact that by this time period it was already inhabited by the Pipil and Nicarao, Nicaragua province has been made Chorotega due to a plurality of Chorotega tribes in that region
5. Choctaw have gained some more land in the Lousiana area
6. As the Inca expand the provinces that are Pukina and Caran will decrease, if the game is started in 1500
7. In 1750 the Creek will expand to much of Florida, if the game is started in 1750
8. Anilco has switched primary culture to Natchez, and Quizquiz has switched to Yoron
9. Powhatan culture has been renamed Chespeake, with Powhatan still being the culture's primary entity

Name Changes

Massive work has been done to add regional names, ethnic names, and tribal names to the name lists of all of the cultures listed above and more
this list includes reading primary sources on the Floridian tribes in Spanish by Hox
and for my part writing down every sub-tribe even otherwise unattested sources of Ge, Arawak, Carib, and others

Edited the Siberian Cultures
Special Thanks to Macky527 for the suggestions which brought on this edit

Provinces with Yakut and Buryat are now different depending on the era, and start dates of past 1653 approximately will no longer mean every province is Russian culture, some will switch, some will not, it depends on if the region had settlements (I may later extend the Russification of these back a bit too)

Yakut expanded later on to its current position as a large language of Northern Siberia, it begins in 1444 with a cluster of provinces, which Tungustic being larger now and Yukaghir gaining one province from the former Yakut 1444 start. The Dolgan culture (also proxied as Yakut) will not move to the province it is in until 1800, the province prior being made Samoyed/Nenets.

Buryat's expansion to one of the former Tungustic provinces will happen in 1750, after the fall of the Evenki/Tungus population.

Fixed Wallonian to be another colour and some minor name changes

Major update to Byzantine, Pontic, & Gothic names removing all duplicates, that Paradox included

Name repeat fix

Gutnish added to the game as primary of Gotland

the name variations took alot of research to do I'm quite proud of it

I dug through most common names in Gotland then reverted the spellings back to the Gutnish variations which were not easy to find
I included some other unusual or historic names as well

1.35.6 Update & name Gainas added to Gothic male names
