Menquoi

Menquoi is a term originating from a corruption of the Burgoignesc term for "equatorial" (meánchiorcal), with its use beginning shortly after the discovery of the equator by Occidental peoples in 1137. Originally used by peoples within the Holy Levantine Empire to collectively describe the Kingdom of Dericania and Imperial Kingdom of Urcea, term encompasses what would today known as the Urcean, Derian, and Bergendii people and their related regional cultures such as the Garán people. The period of The Anarchy and the Great Confessional War saw the term fall out of use and transition from an endonym to an exonym, being replaced by the concept of a "Levantine identity" beginning in the 19th Century.

The term was directly adopted by Coscivian scholars to describe Romance peoples generally, and became a pejorative term for Urceans and vaguely Urcea-aligned nations and peoples in the Coscivian and Gaelic worlds as early as the 1tth Century, which is believed to have encouraged its disappearance from Holy Levantine literature of the subsequent centuries. The word is commonly associated with Counterequatorialist rhetoric in the modern day, and it possesses several regional translations and variations in Kiravia, Sarpedon, Ultmar, and Audonia, all of which are derogatory to varying degrees.
