In my current fantasy campaign, I adopted the astronomical convention of naming geographical features (and culture areas) in invented Latin. So, for example, the continent of origin is Terra Media, the continent across the sea is Occasia, and the sea itself is Mare. There are societies called Urbes Septemplex, Insulae Piperis, Montes Nubili, Regio Pugnae, Dumetum Furtum, and so on, and the city the adventurers set out from is Portus Argenti.

Rather than try to make up dozens of languages, I encouraged the players to name their characters in Earth languages. So we have names in Akkadian, Italian, Mongolian, and Tibetan.
