Tallinoré is the language spoken by the Tallin in Tavayrin. It is a heavily-inflected language. It shares this trait with Thyridic, as both languages are related. In the language, llin means People, while Tallin means the People. Tallinoré therefore means The People's Language, with -oré meaning of or relating to language.
The most common dialect is Tavayrinoré. It is spoken by the Tallin of Tavayrin. It remains the most pure of the Tallinoré dialects. The second most common dialect is Vonayrinoré, spoken by the Tallin, as well as the Thyridic diaspora community, of Vonayrin, a tiny island off the western coast of Pyrra.
Pronouns
In Tallinoré, there are no subject pronouns as such. A sentence like I was in Tallinoré would not be u sarlluë, rather, it would be sarulluë, with the pronoun being forming the verb.

Adverbs and Adjectives
In Tallinoré, there exists no distinction between adverbs and adjectives and a single word can be used to describe both verbs and nouns. Certain lexemes can only be used to describe adverbs or adjectives, but these forms are rare and remnants of older Tallinoré forms. Adverbs and adjectives must agree with the noun or verb they are describing.
