I am not sure how to properly add this, so perhaps some more senior editor can help. The Greek spelling is Karia (Caria is the Roman spelling), but either way the region is pronounced with a "k" sound. Many sources now reference the region using the Greek spelling, so it should be added (to disambiguation?). FYI, even during Roman times, Greek language dominated in Asia Minor and was used in the region, as attested by coins. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Syennesis (talk • contribs) 15:40, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've added "Karia" as an alternate spelling, however the most common spelling in English is "Caria". Paul August ☎ 17:33, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot find a source that says King Car was the son of Zeus and Creta. James George Frazer in Pausanias's Description of Greece, however, said that he is the son of Phoroneus, citing Pausanias' account (p. 61). Darwin Naz (talk) 13:51, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It basically starts from the Greek settlement and Carians are mentioned only once en passant; it sounds almost as if the place had no inhabitants before the Greeks settled there. As the articles Carians and Carian language show, there is a lot to say about the Carians as an ethnicity. And the article on the Ionian League even speaks of a war between the Ionian Greek settlers and 'the ancient state of Caria', although this doesn't seem to be mentioned clearly in the other articles. 62.73.69.121 (talk) 14:16, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
