	The '''Talossan language''' (Kingdom: ''El Glheþ Talossán'', Republic: ''El Glhetg Talossán'') is a ] created by ] for the ] he founded, The ]. It's also the official language in the other Talossan State, the ].

	Talossan is a ], inspired by ], ] and ], and very naturalistic (with quite a few irregularities). In an effort to create a kind of "national mythology" for his micronation, Madison discovered in 1985 that one of the ] sub-tribes of ] was called the ''Talesinnt'', and decided that Talossans were inexplicably and inextricably connected somehow to ]s. This resulted in the Talossan language being inspired by ]. More recently however, words are derived from ] roots and given a ]/] feeling to them (some see a ] influence as well), but there is no one set of rules for derivation through which every word can be predicted. The word "Talossa" itself is not ], but ] in origin: it comes from the ] word for "inside the house" (Talossa began in Madison's bedroom.).

	Talossan is the best-known example of the ] genre of ]. It's spoken in the Kingdom of Talossa (''El Regipäts Talossán''), a "kingdom" with its own parliament and a bicameral legislature, founded by Madison on ], ], and also in the Talossan Republic (''La Repúblicâ Talossán''), formed in 2004 by ex-citizens of the Kingdom.

	In the Republic the language is kept alive by the ''Talossan-Language project'', which built an online dictionary English-Talossán, Talossán-English; and the formation of ''la Icastolâ'', the School of Talossan Language in the Talossan Academy of Arts and Sciences that was established 9 August 2005 with the "The Talossan Academy of Arts and Sciences Act" approved by the Parlamînt.

	Talossan is one of the best-known ]s on the ]. It garners perennial interest and respect from online ]s and ] aficionados. Of particular interest to them is its large vocabulary -- with over 28,000 words in its official dictionary, it is one of the most detailed ]s ever invented.

	Criticism of Talossan includes:
	* That words and grammar are just made up at random, thus having no regular derivation from ], as claimed by Talossans by calling it a Romance language.
	* The use of too many unnecessary accents and letter combinations.

Redirect to:

Talossa#Talossan language

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:

From a subtopic: This is a redirect from a subtopic of the target article or section.
- If the redirected subtopic could potentially have its own article in the future, then also tag the redirect with {{R with possibilities}} and {{R printworthy}}.

With possibilities: This is a redirect from a title that potentially could be expanded into a new article or other type of associated page such as a new template. The topic described by this title may be more detailed than is currently provided on the target page or in a section of that page.
- When the target page becomes too large, or for any reason a new page would be an improvement, this redirect may be replaced with an article, template or other project page that is carved out of the target page. See also {{R to section}} and use together with this rcat when appropriate.
- If the topic of the redirect is not susceptible to expansion, then use other rcats such as {{R to section}} or {{R to list entry}} when appropriate.
- Since a new page may be created, links to this redirect should not be replaced with a direct link to the target page. To make redirects to this page, use {{R avoided double redirect}}.
- {{R printworthy}} should be used together with this template when applied to a redirect in mainspace.
- When used on a template redirect, it will automatically populate Category:Template redirects with possibilities.

To a section: This is a redirect from a topic that does not have its own page to a section of a page on the subject. For redirects to embedded anchors on a page, use {{R to anchor}} instead.

From a printworthy page title: This is a redirect from a title that would be helpful in a printed or CD/DVD version of Misplaced Pages. See Misplaced Pages:Printability and Version 1.0 Editorial Team for more information.

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
