Have you ever had a question about the Talossan language but were too afraid to ask it? Would you just like to know how a certain word or name is spelled or pronounced? If so, please ask all your questions here, and I'll make a video where I'll (try to) answer them all!

Thank you so much for this! It's one thing to hear the pronunciation in your head, but it's something very different to hear it spoken aloud. I would love to hear, not only words, but sentences strung together to get a better idea of the flow of stress.

This was kind of like a fun game, because I would say the word out loud before you did, and counted how many I got right. Let's just say it was not a majority... although it wasn't zero!

Great work!

Names have always been somewhat of an issue in Talossa, so heres the sequel-spin off of "How Do You Say This Word?"

I seem to have done a little better with the first video than the second. I miiiight be a little shocked that I constantly mispronounced "xh" all this time as /ʒ/ rather than straight up /dʒ/... Also I had no idea about /ɬ/ in "tamlalt" and "Válcadác'h". My stress was also all over the place, especially for surnames :c

as always, great job ^^ Marcel for UrGP when

I don't have a specific question, but I am on the hunt for specific resources. Several years ago a cheat sheet of sorts was prepared with common phrases and terms called Prüms Päçen in Ladintsch. I have a copy from 2015 (it is a 2-pager). Does anyone know if there has been an update to this or how out of date it might be? I'm terrible with the language but I am striving to at least use as much of it as I can.

Thanks!

Yeesh, no, the first one you linked is the original original Prüms Päçen from 2007. The one from 2015 is this one.

They're out of date unfortunately, and there has been no update to them since. As a rule of thumb, everything published before 2019 uses an outdated spelling of the language.

Thank you Sir Marcel and Baron Davinescu. What I have then is apparently the most current form.

Hello, I have asked to ChatGPT to speak Talossan.. I am not really sure of the correctness of the use of "el glheþ" !! Do you know what ChatGPT uses as a proxy ?

Q: Can you explain in talossan what is talossa ?

A: Certamen in Talossa, jo es un pais virtual creit da la internet e fondat in 1980. El es un patria imaginarie, con su proprie cultura, politica, e lingua, e es governat per un monarc'a e un parlament. In Talossa, le persone pote participar in le vita politic e cultural del pais, creante contento e artefactos cultural, e votante pro le candidatos in electiones. Le lingua official de Talossa es talossan, un lingua construite que es un mixtura de divers lingua romanicas e germanic, e es usate pro comunicar intra le communia talossan.
