Thoughts on language composition:

• All languages in the area could be 50% Amerindian

Remaining percentages could be something like this:

• Glacial could include 30% Inuit, 15% Finnish, and 5% Dwarvish
• Arboreal could contain some percentage of 5% Quenya and 45% Old Norse
• Plains could include some percentage of 40% Mongolian and 10% Old Norse
• Hills could include some percentage of 40% Tibetan and 10% Dwarvish
• Western coasts could include 25% Gaelic and %25 Old Norse
• Southern coasts could include 45% Maori and 5% Old Norse
• Eastern bay could include 40% Maori, 5% Dwarvish, and 5% Old Norse
• Southern islands could include 20% Maori, 20% Hawai'ian, and 5% Old Norse

For naming the tribes, use the word for "people" in each of the languages, and select from random mutations on combinations? This will require a new feature in the library ...

Language group:

[hxgm30.language.repl] λ=>  (def peoples
  [{:word "titunwan"
    :weight 52}
   {:word "inuit"
    :weight 4}
   {:word "khazâd"
    :weight 3}
   {:word "dhaoine"
    :weight 3}
   {:word "quendi"
    :weight 1}
   {:word "þjóð"
    :weight 13}
   {:word "kansa"
    :weight 2}
   {:word "khümüüs"
    :weight 5}
   {:word "simeng"
    :weight 5}
   {:word "poʻe"
    :weight 3}
   {:word "iwi"
    :weight 9}])
[hxgm30.language.repl] λ=>  (derive-words peoples 20)
("uiwiþjtuwi"
 "hawangsituunsaunwa"
 "jó"
 "anmü"
 "üsiw"
 "iwantuaniwuemeoinu"
 "unanng"
 "itoʻanwins"
 "watu"
 "üs"
 "iwmüóðwanw"
 "waunun"
 "jówipoitwinwentuwa"
 "unpoóðnwtuun"
 "itnsþjwakawa"
 "zâ"
 "itþjanantuwatuhüit"
 "iwanqumeannwwa"
 "jóhütutuunnw"
 "óðun")
[hxgm30.language.repl] λ=>  (derive-words peoples 20 3)
("itannw"
 "óðantu"
 "óðþjóð"
 "antuan"
 "wajóhü"
 "þjnwpo"
 "azoinw"
 "nwjóóð"
 "nunwaz"
 "itóðnu"
 "poazüs"
 "ituntu"
 "jóenaz"
 "anantu"
 "óðitwa"
 "wiuiwa"
 "þjanwi"
 "itantu"
 "wiaoóð"
 "unþjtu")

The winners for me are:

• óðantu
• óðun
• waunun
• watu

I think there's a nice way to combine those, maybe create 2 or 3 language groups, and then all together, the'd be called the Óðantu ... (pronounced o-than-tu with the "th" is voiced, not aspirated).
