he is the Grandson of the former Emperor, but you are right he might have held the empire for a bit.
So Golden Horde of your timeline will be an Christian nobility order?
It's not a Muslim name, it's an Arab Muslim name. Just as Isa is not a Christian name, but an Arab Christian name.
The bad thing is that the game apparently considers her a "nubile" concubine.
She's pretty young by human standards, at least.
Still nothing to do with christian americans, since he was talking about muslim arabs.
You've given a post where Temujin dynasty became grandmasters of catholic knighthood orders so I assumed that Golden Horde in your scenario could also become a one.
What "a one"? A holy order? Catholics? Feudal? Theocracy? What?
AFAK, if one of these Mongol grandmasters inherit the Golden Horde, he'll just become an usual emperor, keeping the holy order as a secondary title.
Remember the conversation. I was providing a parallel example, just because Jesus is called Isa by Arab Christians doesn't mean that that's his Christian(ist?) name, as many (most?) Christians actually *don't* call him Isa. So, just because he's called Yasu by Arab Muslims doesn't mean that that's his Islamic (Islamist?) name. The logic is the same, and the first example is obviously true and easy to follow but it looks like the other one is a mindboggler.
Actually, Arab Christians call him Yasu, Arab Muslims call him Isa. No one is arguing that religions dictate the names of things, obviously that's based on language. It's just that neither of those terms are the one and only Arabic name of Jesus.
Unlike in English, there actually is a dialect difference in Arabic (and several other Semitic languages) based on religion that betrays various levels of influence from other tongues. Christian Arabic tends to be more Aramaic and Greek influenced, while Samaritan Arabic has a lot more Hebrew influence. It's not even restricted to Semitic, as Zoroastrian Persian is markedly different historically from Muslim Persian, the latter having much more Arabic influence. In a land where so many religions converge at once across so long and so many cultures holding dominance, these things do happen.
A comparable situation in English would be, perhaps, the tendency of pious Christians to use names like "the Lord" while others might simply say "God". Another would be Muslims to use "Allah", an Arabic word, instead of the comparable English term. In the case of Arabic, it is a different reading of the same consonant root influenced by the Aramaic (IE: popular Christian language of the region historically) pronunciation "Yeshu", in essence reading it with the vowels of Aramaic, but reading the word itself (IE: the consonants) as Arabic.
Thus, Arab Christians call him Yasu. Muslim Arabs call him Isa.
