Lenian languages

The Lenian languages are a polyphyletic cultural grouping of related languages that descend from Tapilula but exclude branches that acquired divergent characteristics. Included branches are:

1. Hipatal, including all of Fojy and its child Dreamlandic
2. Subumpamese languages, including all of Kava
3. Paleo-Pabappa
4. Olati, culturally Subumpamese but genetically Andanese

By contrast, the Lenian languages exclude Thaoa, Tarise, and Gold, even though these three branches descend from Tapilula and Tapilula is the most recent common ancestor of all the Lenian languages.
