AH: Looks like a Sanskrit transliteration (sat yam, jnaana, cakra).

Edit: Whoops, you changed it. Still Sanskrit, tho?

AE is Corsican, yes.

I can tell you that AA isn't a Slavic language and that AD is a sort of French, but not one of those named yet.

AF is not Austrian.

I guess Z could be a Dutch-Indonesian pidgin (wild guess)?

Correct both of you. AF is Letzebourgian/Luxembourgish.

AD is Haitian Creole, yes.

Z could be some sort of Esperanto spanning several language families. I really don't know.
