Need Latin help

For a story I’m writing, I need a catchy name for a group of people that would mean something along the lines of barbarians, unevolved, uncivilized, cruel etc.

Help much appreciated…

Just a few…

Torva (savage: adj.)

Crudiores (less cooked, rawer: comparative adj.)

Rudis Gens (uncultivated tribe: n.)

Atrox (harsh, cruel: adj.)

Bestia (beasts: n.)

I’m partial to “torva” myself, I’ve always liked the sound of it. Although, actually, “barbarian” is latin for–well–barbarian, so if you’re going for accuracy, it doesn’t get much better than that. :slight_smile:

Disclaimer–I haven’t been in a latin class in over six years and I’m not positive all of my tense/number/gender word endings are correct. Latin sucks for that–the same word has thirty different spellings depending on it’s use. I’m sure someone with a fresher memory will be along to correct me at some point.

good luck!
