This family does include some minor languages like [[Bavland|Bav]]. [[Kharbranthian]] is not considered it's own language and is instead a dialect. The next language family, [[Makabaki]], contains around thirty languages, most of which are split off from [[Azish]]. The [[Iri]] language family contains Iriali, [[Riran]], [[Reshi]], and various [[Purelake]] dialects. The Dawnate language family are languages with roots in the [[dawnchant]]. These include [[Shin]], [[listener]], and [[Unkalaki]]. They share similar grammar, but the vocabulary is quite different.
