I was going to say the same thing. It's like classifying American Indian tribes. Cherokee Indians are Iroquoian, meaning they are related to the Iroquois, Mohawk, etc Indians of the northern US because of the language family they belong to, even though they ranged in the Carolinas-Tennessee area. Same with two well-known southwest tribes, the Navajo and the Apache. Both tribes are Athapaskans/Athabaskans which is a language family found in the North American subarctic which is where they are originally from.
As a side note, my temp also runs "lower than average."
