Apart from a certain Mr. Wieslaw Wenedyk Dam, who apparently ran in Polish municipal elections a few years ago but was not elected, all occurrences of Wenedyk refer to my language (most of which are numerous different copies of Wiki pages and of the Google directory). Vozgian: my language only. Not that there are particularly many hits, though. Hattic: overwhelmingly about the ancient language of Anatolia. There are so many hits, that I can't even be bothered to look for references to my own Hattic. A pity, because that way I won't find out how many people actually believe the nonsense I'm writing... Askaic: a few references to my language (but not much, because it still isn't online). Furthermore, a couple of references to "Askaic Records", apparently some obscure grammaphone company, and one containing a text like "She'll be your sex slave forever"...
