Mm, I don't really put the language the series was presented in as the highest priority for what the characters are meant to be speaking, because if I woke up tomorrow and decided to go write something set in Russia, it would still be in English because I don't speak Russian. I don't think the language of the presentation and the language the characters are really using necessarily have any relation at all, and the names and setting look to be far more European influenced than Asian, I think.

...god why am I nitpicking at a fandom I left like two years ago, wtf me. XD
