This is a hypothetical setup page for a group of lost languages spoken on the northeastern part of the continent, separate from the Repilian languages and their relatives. The migration time is arbitrary and the languages need not be tied to any other languages, as even if the migration time were close to the Repilians' time they could have come from an area of Laba that did not speak a closely related language.
The territory here may be much the same as Repilia's, but since this corresponds to "Lenia", it is likely north of Repilia. It may be that Repilia pushed the speakers of these languages against the icecap and that they assimilated and then died out. This could have happened very far in the past. In some ways this new Lenian area resembles a mirror of Dreamland.
Timing
Unknown but probably before 8000 BC.
Phonology
The phonology of the parent language must superficially resmble Lenian languages despite the wide time gap.
Possible histories
Free growth
It is possible that this language is tied to no others.
Repilian branch
It is possible that this is a branch of Repilian, even though the people are physically different, because just as Repilians "evovled from Zeniths", Lenians could evolve from Repilians (not literally but through population exchange). THis is unlikely however.
