- Rumesselis, a relatively similar subfamily to the Esselis branch, spoken in the north of the continent.
- Kipoa, a subfamily spoken in the south-east of the continent, and in small areas of Lovvocia through colonial ties.
- Usy, the family's only single-language branch, spoken on the island of Usings; it stands apart from the other three branches while remaining within the family.
