Many other areas, most notably the North and the far Northeast, do not have a local vernacular, due to Chlouvānem presence there being recent and those areas being either previously almost uninhabited (the far Northeast) or with lots of different ethnicities (the North). The main vernaculars that are actually languages that do not have Chlouvānem origin (and are commonly referred to as ''dældā'' instead of ''maiva'') are:
