The Hadwan languages _are_ IE languages (as near as I can make them) but not
familiarly related to any others. They're spoken by some small tribes of
non-humans that don't share societies with humans (thus retaining their
linguistic heritage). The languages do have (or will, when I get around to
it) influence from other IE languages. Frex Hadwan itself gets Greek
influence, although there's more of that in the dialect that becomes
Atlantic than the one that moves north.
