Lúsanic languages

Lúsanic is the branch of Indo-European languages that includes the Finio-Dhannic and the Limbe-Mereian languages. All the Lúsanic languages are "centum" languages and have thus merged the inherited Indo-European palatal plosives with the plain ones. It is often mistakenly believed to have been named after the mythical place Lúsania which all languages claim as their Urheimat. In fact, its name derives from the earliest known exonym of Lúsanic speakers, the Greek Λουσανοι as described by Hecataeus of Miletus.
