The extreme south of the Great Empire lies the Tangor Peninsula, according to Mystara's planetary map, so you would most likely have Tangoro thrown into the mix, as well. I believe Real World Africa was used for their inspiration, at least the Hollow World writeup. I know there was some discussion about the culture and various cultural flavor distinctions on the Piazza forums some time back...
Looking across the Yannifar Sea, directly west of Skothar, there would be the native Yannivey/Yannifey on the proto-continent that will (eventually) become Alphatia. Again, some discussion about possible RW cultural influences at the Piazza.
As you can see, my take assumes a "Mystara's Blackmoor" approach. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about the "pure" roots of the setting (Arneson's original incarnation) or the Greyhawked incarnation to be of any help there....
