Status of Vulcans in 32nd century

[Scionz]

I think they'll have synthesized Vulcan philosophy and history with the reintegration of the Romulan people (which by now began to happen 800 years prior) and their millennia-long relationship with Humanity (which fundamentally changed their civilization) into an extremely careful balance of logic and emotion, the rational and the irrational. Vulcan's will be a constant balance of three spinning plates between these three pillars. And because of that they're tremendously conservative about changes. They're afraid of being pulled too far in any direction. They don't want to become Romulans 2.0, or go back to the logicians-at-all-costs mode of the 23rd and 24th century, or be as chaotic as humanity (whose balance between emotion and logic fascinated them).

Because of this, bringing the Vulcans back into the Federation will be a hard sell. As they see it, they have too much to risk for an uncertain outcome.

Vulcans probably still haven't invented air conditioning.

And I bet you they have/had a ship named the Soval. Which gets a namecheck.

It is nice that we see

3 circles in the badge: The two Romulan planets, and the circle on top of Mount Seleya in the IDIC.

I'm sensing a second schism approaching especially if Discovery is successful in getting the Vulcans to come back and the Romulans say nah.

Vulcans are one of the founders of the federation, with the spore drive of course they would want back in.

I wonder if they will call themselves Vromulans or Rulcans

Maybe they'll--I don't know--use their actual name, instead of the name given to them by humans.

Have we ever heard a different name?

 

[Nerys Myk]

I've always assumed that the way T'Pau pronounces "Vulcan" is the actual name.

 

[NCC-73515]

So Whulcans.

 

[Agony_Boothb]

maybe the romulans are now the Vulcan't

 

[Tim Thomason]

Have we ever heard a different name?

Non-canon sources, based on Enterprise, have referred to them as the V'tosh. Otherwise, Minsharans might work.

 

[SolarisOne]

Have we ever heard a different name?

No. But surely they don't actually call themselves that in their own language.

Why not, though? Odds are that they were the ones who introduced the word to Earth a couple of thousand years ago anyway.

I mean, Apollo we got from Apollo himself. The Platonians got their name from the Greeks in return - but the exchange probably was two-way. And Spock's great-great-ancestors used to travel a lot, and were habitual Adams and Eves from the sounds of it.
