 ==History==
+Gwrengax is believed to be the only surviving descendant of the pre-[[Lakovic]], pre-[[Idavic]] indigenous languages of Bjeheond.
-Gwnax is believed to be the only surviving descendant of the pre-Lakovic, pre-Idavic indigenous languages of Bjeheond. It's generally accepted that the language of the Dwābisȝōlan civilization of Bjeheond is an old form of Gwnax and its script is the source for Idavic and Windermere scripts today. Even the name ''Dwābisȝōlan'' is a Thensarianized form of an Old Gwnax ancestor of the name Erkwisngwal, which displays the characteristic sound change dw- -> erk- which shows up among Trician languages only in Gwnax.
