Could you give some description of your langs?  I'd be very
interested.

It'd funny that you try to find a language for the names you already
have.  In some computer games (e.g. Transport Tycoon), I used to name
the cities by some random sounds in my head.  Still, I think they had
a distinct and recognisable flavour.  Of course, the idea was that
they are from some language, but there actually was none.  I never
made a language after them, and it's fun you actually did. :-)

I don't even know how I named my capital.  I had two standard names
that I always used: one for the capital, and one for another large
city.
