Applying Linguistic Archaeology rules to all Greyhawk data thusfar we find a very different History of Greyhawk:
The Dwarves diverging from A Group are the origin of the Gods of Hepmonaland (Olman, Touv, and Baklunish) crossing the Sea from Hepmonaland to Flanaess with the Baklunish gods and the Mountain Gnomes with their Flan gods. The R Group gnomes gives rise to the Oerdian and then Suel gods.
G Group spawns Orcs. The Hepmonaland A Group remnant Dwarves of Hepmonaland interacts with G Group Orcs and spawns Goblins.
E Group breed with O Group spawning Halflings and then Elves. The Drow Nobility are formed at this time. The Halflings and Elves migrate to forests. The Halflings branch off as L Group becoming Halflings of Flanaess.
R group gnomes interbreed with O Group remnant to spawn Humans.
Flanaess Halflings, R Group Gnomes and A Group Dwarves settle the Rivers of Flanaess.
