There are several language families native to Great Kirav. At present, there is no ''demonstrable'' genetic relationship between the top-level families listed here, though ancestral connexions of great {{wp|time depth}} have been hypothesised. Occidental linguists generally presume, based on non-linguistic evidence of ancient migrations, that all of the indigenous languages of Great Kirav must descend from one, two, or - at most - three proto-languages. In Coscivian academia, no such presumption is made. | There are several language families native to Great Kirav.
