The Hadwan languages _are_ IE languages (as near as I can make them) but not familiarly related to any others. They're spoken by some small tribes of non-humans that don't share societies with humans (thus retaining their linguistic heritage). The languages do have (or will, when I get around to it) influence from other IE languages. Frex Hadwan itself gets Greek influence, although there's more of that in the dialect that becomes Atlantic than the one that moves north. *Muke! -- http://muke.twu.net/
