Minervans are currently believed to have been transplanted to Minerva by unknown means about a 100,000 years ago. Thus Common Minervan cannot feasibly be linked to any known language family on Terra although the more enthusiastic 'lumpers' among linguistic scholars and outright Goropists have certainly given it a try. Common Minervan derives from the primary language spoken in  the former Empire of Teloddo and its trading sphere. The standard dialect of the language as prescribed by the Minervan Economic Community is described here.
The Hyperboreans (HB: Gamir) belong to the European Pygmy phenotype which is believed to have diverged from other ancient European lineages some 8,000 years ago, their urheimat being the forests of central Europe. European pygmies exist in scattered populations throughout Europe and speak a variety of largely unrelated languages. Hyperborean is a language isolate and has no traceable relation to any ancient or modern language.
