Garantian

Garantian is a term used mainly in worldbuilding and speculative fiction to refer to the inhabitants and related aspects of a hypothetical country or region named Garantia. The term functions as both a demonym (Garantians) and an adjective (Garantian traditions, Garantian culture).

Etymology: The form follows common patterns in English and many other languages, where the suffix -ian is added to a place name to form a demonym and an adjective. Because Garantia is not a real place in established geography, there is no official spelling standard, and variants may appear across works.

Usage: In fictional contexts, Garantians may be described as sharing cultural traits, institutions, or linguistic features attributed to Garantia by the author. The term is not a designation for a real-world nationality or ethnicity and has no historical record outside specific texts, games, or media.

Language: If a Garantian language is depicted, it is typically a constructed language created for the work, with its own phonology, writing system, and grammar defined by the author. Details vary between sources.
