Are there any languages in Almea (specifically on Ereláe) that have mysterious or unsolved backgrounds? I can see how Tei could possibly be one of them, since it's located so far away from the other Chia-Sha tongues; but it's already classified under a group. I'm talking about languages that are comparable to Earth's Pictish, Burushaski or (the very fascinating, IMO) Basque. Or could Kebreni already represent one of these..
<p>One of the things you said in the first map's comentary inspired this question:
<p><i>The blank spaces on the map, then, may not be as empty as they look</i>
<p>Could there have been people on Ereláe before the Wede:i, Eynleyni and Monkhayu arrived? :)
<hr><i>Mark responds:
<p>The linguistic term for these languages is <b>isolate</b>... actually
Ereláan linguistics is a little <b>too</b> neat-- no major language
is unaccounted for! </i>
