Mannar are Hispanic (I think)

Seriphyn:
So like...

City of Raspa. La Raspa is a dance originating from Mexico. Raspar is also Spanish for "scrape", a raspa being some sort of cone-based confectionery.

Matias Freier...Matias being Spanish form of "Matthew"...Freieir is actually Hebrew...hm

Who the hell knows...

Casiella:
Nobody "is" something in EVE: the Gallente aren't French, the Achurans aren't Japanese, the Sebiestor aren't Norse, etc.

Some elements may survive, sure, but I don't believe the lines are that straight. Also, "Mateo" is Spanish for "Matthew".

Yoshito Sanders:
I think you may be reading too much into an old posting by a Mercury member. After all, the main character of that arc (Midna) is clearly named after the Legend of Zelda character.

Svetlana Scarlet:
It's worth noting that less than 2000 years ago, Spanish, Italian, and French were all Latin dialects.  In 20000 years -- at least 8000 of which involve a period of extreme isolation -- "French" is probably not going to sound anything like it does now (assuming it exists).   Trying to derive ethnic origins from what words sound like is probably a stretch at best.

Alain Colcer:
I would really like to see the Mannar as hispanic/mexicans or some sort of latin-american typical culture.

Almost all southern america is a mix of indignenous inhabitants mixed with african and spanish cultures. Given that context, the Mannar could be the underdogs in space development (a good explanation as to why it is still low-sec), but a rich, colorful and delightful society centered around celebrations and enjoyment of life.

The Gallente arriving at Mannar system would find this "turist" spot, a great discovery, and at the same time an interesting society to eventually assimilate.
