| '''Race, Nationality and Language in the Colonies'''
| |
| *National "character traits"
| |
| **Gemenon is "fundamentalist"
| |
| | |
| *Race
| |
| **Large number of african characters from Geminon, european characters from Caprica. Exceptions?
| |
| **Race and colony of origin may not be strongly correlated - when Baltar attempted to guess at Boomer's place of origin, he commented on her accent, not her physical appearance.
| |

| |
| ***Boomer - east asian
| |
| ***Sekou Hamilton - mixed race - african/european (?)

| |
| ****Boomer/Tyrol
| |
| ****Boomer/Helo
| |
| ****Dualla/Billy
| |
| ****Dualla/Lee Adama

| |
| ****Kara/Baltar
| |
| ****Kara/Anders
| |
| ****Baltar/Six
| |
| ****Baltar/Playa
| |
| ***With a pair of (somewhat confusing) exceptions:
| |
| ****Kara/Zak
| |
| ****Kara/Lee
| |
| *Language | |
| **English is standard. Loanwords from foreign languages ("fascist", "karma", etc.) occur with normal frequency, as do somewhat odd borrowings such as the Battlestar [[Columbia]]. Most religious terms are explicitly shared with ancient greek beliefs. | |
| **American accents are the most common, but others occur:
| |
| **English Accents:
| |
| ***Baltar
| |
| ***Ishay
| |
| **Spanish Accents:
| |
| ***Woman in miniseries whose husband was "stationed on Geminon"
| |
| **Aerelon Accent:
| |
| ***Baltar claimed that Sharon Valerii spoke with a trace of an Aerelon accent. The actress who portrays her, Grace Park, speaks English with a standard american accent.
