About Gavrian Gavrian is spoken by about 42 million people mostly in the The Republic of the Gavs but also in a few areas where Gavs have emigrated such as The Protectorate of Gavria (see PWS). Gavrian is most closely related to the Northwest-IE language group although I'm sure one could find a little of many languages :)
