Paleo-Gráhúlysic
Paleo-Gráhúlysic1 is a general term for various languages spoken by various human ethnic groups that were were the first to settle Gráhúlysía, a large region in northern Adynía, and predate later ones which migrated in waves from the Wild Mountains to the east.
Most have been supplanted by the latter -such as skoldic, once spoken by the Skoldans in the southern Lakú Mountains- or in some cases nemirkían languages, and those that survived into modern times are restricted to the northern and western parts of Gráhúlysía, save for one.

Modern Paleo-Gráhúlysic languages
Dúlic
Dúlic is divided into dertúlic and þúlic, closely related languages of the mostly nomadic Dertúlans and Þúls, respectively, in northern Gráhúlysía.Gordic
Gordic consists of two main branches, one spoken by the White-Gords around Mt. Kotrax in eastern Gráhúlysía and another by the Red-Gords near the Darka Mountains in the southwestern part of the region.Úlótic
Úlótic is made up of two mutually unintelligible languages restricted to the area around the river Úló in northwestern Gráhúlysía and the northern Lakú Mountains, namely dirtic and tídertic, used by the Dirtans and Tíderks. They are further divided into mountain and lowland dirtic, with the former being heavily influenced by Keþic, one hand and coastal and riverine dialects on the other.1Original icelandic: Frum-Gráhúlysíska.
