@Samork, I agree there should be Kazakh and Kyrgyz names as well. But I couldn't find any Kazakh/Kyrgyz names that Turkmens and Uzbeks didn't also use just with different spelling (e.g. Aibek vs. Oybek). That's also why I "excluded" Uyghur names, because they have mostly the same names as Uzbeks but sometimes with different spelling. If you have a list of uniquely Kazakh or Kyrgyz names I'd love to add it!

Re: Kurdish names, yes they're not Central Asian but I figured they go with the Iranian / Turkic "vibe". Doesn't make much sense though considering then I'd have to add Azeri, Armenian, and Turkish names as well, so if I can find a good list of Kazakh and Kyrgyz names to add instead I'll remove the Kurdish ones and put them in a separate mod.

A third option would be to make the street-type patterns in, say, Persian, and explain to your subscribers how to customize the patterns to their desired language.

With the second option, you might get a street named "Golrokh Kiani" rather than "Golrokh Kiani Street"

"Due to language issues, adding street names would be very difficult ..."

For roads, streets, avenues, highways, bridges, tunnels, there is no specific list of names, Rather, the names are generated from the names of districts (and maybe residences) and cim's names applied to the PATTERN(s) defined for the road types.

So, if you could come up with pattern that makes sense in the various languages, that would do.

Or, you could follow this as a pattern (eliminate the English name of the street type); you'd need only one pattern for each street type --

"Adding residence names (Golrokh Kiani living in "the Holly Residence" sounds a bit silly)."

For the "xyz.blacklist" file --

<!-- Residence Names -->
<LocalizedString identifier="RESIDENCE_LOW_PATTERN" key="Level1" />
(repeat the above for levels 2-5)
<LocalizedString identifier="RESIDENCE_HIGH_PATTERN" key="Level1" />
(repeat the above for levels 2-5)

<LocalizedString identifier="RESIDENCE_NAME" />

For the "xyz.namelist" file (add as many of each as required, in the language/script desired)--

<LocalizedString identifier="RESIDENCE_LOW_PATTERN" key="Level1">The {0} Residence</LocalizedString>
(repeat the above for levels 2-5)
<LocalizedString identifier="RESIDENCE_HIGH_PATTERN" key="Level1">The {0} Residence</LocalizedString>
(repeat the above for levels 2-5)

<LocalizedString identifier="RESIDENCE_NAME">Woodland</LocalizedString>

"Adding district names. "

For the "xyz.blacklist" file --
<!-- District Names -->
<LocalizedStringKey identifier="DISTRICT_PATTERN" />
<LocalizedStringKey identifier="DISTRICT_NAME" />

For the "xyz.namelist" file (add as many of each as required, in the language/script desired)--
<LocalizedString identifier="DISTRICT_PATTERN">{0} Hills</LocalizedString>
<LocalizedString identifier="DISTRICT_NAME">Woodland</LocalizedString>
