Karate: What styles of Kung-Fu were responsible for creating it?

I'm no expert and I'm sure the more experienced members like Shihan J, pugpaws, Aaron J and others can probably give a more detailed answer. But to my knowledge, the name Shorin from Shorin ryu karate is the Japanese pronunciation of the Chinese word Shaolin, so my guess is besides White crane, you can probably look to other kung fu styles that came from the Shaolin temple at that time as influences.
