Same here, unfortunately.  The Sayat language has never really approached
any finished/usable state, and I decided to drop the
concultural/historical side of things until I could at least get the
language in good enough shape to, say, do one of the translation exercises
on the list.

I have to agree -- Nowan-Sayat coexistence is a bit of a stretch as it is,
I suspect.  I'm not sure about Boreanesia, since I'm not up-to-date on its
history, but the Sayat are definitely not compatible (without major
rewriting) with the Hangkerim or the Brithenig worlds.
