However, I don't think the Hillmen would be completely destroyed as a race; unless the "good guys" aren't above total genocide. There would almost certainly have been children left - children who would grow up to hate the rangers. They may not have survived enough to make an army, but I don't doubt that they coul have multiplied again either. And here's something else: have you considered that Orcs and men could've remained alive IN the mountains? That doesn't conflict the text at all. They could've survived (ish) north of them, too.

Also, Nan Angmar is simply another term for western Angmar, not counting the mountains.

Indeed, the Breelanders are hill-men too, and they are the only survivor of Hill-men in the former realm of Arnor. Breelanders are the descendant of Hill-men, so your problem is solved. You tell me that Orcs and men could've remained alive doesn't conflict "all were destroyed"? Men live inside the mountains?

How the that evil changes a name and takes another form violated your interest? Why you cannot just let it go? They are good names and proper forms.

"No one lives in this land. Men once dwelt here, ages ago; but none remain now. They became an evil people, as legends tell, for they fell under the shadow of Angmar. But all were destroyed in the war that brought the North Kingdom to its end."

- Aragon in The Fellowship of the Ring

"Now they had gone on far into the Lone-lands, where there were no people left, no inns, and the roads grew steadily worse. Not far ahead were dreary hills, rising higher and higher, dark with trees. On some of them were old castles with an evil look, as if they had been built by wicked people."

- The Hobbit

For nan, nan means valley in Sindarin, and it means woodland in Quenya. More importantly, nan means south in Chinese, so it is kind of weird...

All were destroyed WEST of the mountains, and later east of them too. They can hide in the mountains (not inside, but in caves, for example). Mount Gundabad was not destroyed or even attacked, for example. It could be possible that they hid in the mountains and came back at this point in time.

Those quotes only state that they didn't live in the Lone-Lands anymore. Not in Angmar.
