This is more a comment than an outright question so far, but i feel that a question or even a number of questions may arise from it.
We do know there were a few of different groups of men living in Eriador whenmthe Numenoreans returned to middle-earth, unfinished tales mentions thatbthey actually met a delegation of the men who lived between evendim and the Weather hills, who seem to have been men verly closely akin to the Numenoreans and especially the House of Beor in both language and appearance,
Another group is the men of the Barrow downs, who possibly also were akin to these men,
then we know of the Breemen, but these seem to have arrived at a later time as they were akin to the men of the white mountains and the later dunlendings
These dunlending or haladin relatives lived in Enedhwaith before and were Called Gwathuirim, except the later dunlendings some of these oater lived in Eryn vorn and alond the coasts of Cardolan and Enedhwaith alond with a tribe related to tje druedain.
We possibly know of two,or three more cultures...
there were the hillmen in Rhudaur, and a poeople that built large stone towers, these MIGHT have either been relatives of the hillmen or maybe the edain of evendim-weatherhills land, or/and the people of Angmar.Or the Hillmen might also be relatives of the Breemen and Dunlendings, while we have little text to support this,,many people seem to think so because their name implies hill-men, just as bree-men and Dunlendings, and Mountainmen do.So it could well be.
We also know that a people related to,the folk of Bor the easterling lived in northern eriador, though they do not appear anywhere else innthe published books.People have guessed these may have been either the ancestors of the lossoth, the hillmen, the angmarians or all three of it.
That is so far everything JRRT gave us as far as i know...
Now i know corey had some theories on the in-game history, for example he deduced that the populance of angmar was related to the breemen, because they had a similar architecture.We know the Gauredain and Hillmen are somehow related to the dunmen and white mountainmen in language and culture.Who then were the descendants of the Evendim-weatherhills men? We have some groups living there or roamingbthe lands as brigands, or the Eglath of the lone lands...butbthey appear mostly as of dunlending/Southern eriador or hillman stock, the Breemen seem to have been unrelated to the earlier evendim-weatherhills men , at last in language and appearance... we know they also were part of thet "Halethian" group from whommthe dunmen and pre numenorean gondorians and oathbrekers came...
