[edit] a Minbari not born of Minbari
Changed "a Minbari not born of Minbari" to "a Minbari not born of Minbar" since the quote is of the planet/origin of the race MinbariMementh (talk) 03:51, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Satai
Actually Grey Council members are called Satai not Catai.
- Satai is not a noun, thus it is incorrect to say they are 'called' Satai. The word Satai is actually 'satai-', and is an honorific prefix, like the Japanese suffix '-dono' or '-sempai' but its use is exclusive TO members of the Grey Council. Actually, when you watch the first season and think about it the Minbari draw quite a few parallels to Edo period Japan and Pre-Meiji Shinto-Buddhism. Verlocs 02:47, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

- I don't think that that distinction was made, and while it certainly is used as an honorific, it is also used as a title of office (e.g. "you are satai!" or the computer's recitation of what "satai" means when Sinclair researches it, see "Soul Hunter").
[edit] True seekers
I've added a True seekers section and cited the heck out of the religion section. Someone please carry the torch and cite the rest of the article? -Harmil 16:00, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Stellar Location
Do we have a confirmed source for Minbar's location in Space? While the rest of the paragraph is Canon (7th planet, colder, crystals, ice, length of year), 25LY seems a ludicriously small distance between Civilisations, especially one which has been spacefaring for a thousand years.Draffa 23:04, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Minbari language
In reality, much of the Minbari spoken on screen is derived from Russian, with phrases such as не можно ne mozhno spoken with a subtitle saying Don't be, such as in the episode War Without End Part I.
I might insist that this is duscussable. This phrase "ne mozhno" sound much more polish rather than russian. Sure russian speaking people understand these words but actually in modern russian language this word is pronounced as "нельзя" - "nel'zya". Assuming the polish roots of JMS it seems to be much more possible that language is derived from polish not russian. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.134.5.167 (talk) 12:41, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
