This time I won't come up with some strange news article but an unusual comment on my conlang Kexyana.

The Age of Mystic Clashes

Nin - Archaic No or non or not, superseded by modern term Gur.

It seems the first term was influenced by a romance language or even Latin itself, but there was a tumultuous epoch when the proto-Kexyana speaking tribes or clans clashed against an unknown horde that called themselves Gur'ukmetmev. The meaning of their gentilic got lost in the sands of time, still, the descendants of those local tribes or clans never forgot how much they hated them so after the first waves of "invaders" had come and gone, they incorporated the term gur as a way to deny stuff, to disown, to stay away from anything.

Hanshema - Indoctrination

At first this term looks quite common for any civilized society, but scholars suspected that it was a sign that their forefathers might have met Chinese people at some point and they tried to indoctrinate them. They were unable to tell if they were Imperialists that wanted to force them to pay a tribute to their Emperor or they were communist already. Some of them even dare to make a bold statement that they were part of the horde they hated the most. Obviously, there are no proofs of these theories, (Middle Age) modern scholars even think they were fables that some group made up to support a local ruler's extremist policies. Even so that change in their viewpoint did not prevent locals from being afraid of meeting any Chinese like guy. Concerning other Asian people, it seems they viewed Japanese or anybody that looked like one as superstitious people who they should distrust. There is no evidence they hate them, but they would belittle them if gotten a chance to do so. In case any Asian guy was found guilty of any crime, the clan leaders or judges would just decapitate them in public.

In both cases it remains a true mystery how both worlds ever "collided" as to allow free passage from one another, but archeological evidence and existing customs seem to prove they were real at some point in the past.

Conclusion: Fantasy can be deceiving and lethal indeed!
