T'alya

Written by Glynven

This dissertation shall be an assistance to all civilised people, which travelled with me from Golarion to this New World. But on top of that it meant to be a sign of amicable connection between us and the T'alyu, which already stood by our side in times of utmost exigency.

From Common to T'alya; A discourse about the Language of the T'alyu
Language is a system created out of words and grammatical rules, which is acquired by most intelligent races over time. Thereby, both knowledge of terms as well as correct pronunciation of those terms is essential. Equally important are the structure of a sentence, and the array of sentences which must be acquired. Through language we build social bonds to other persons and races. This allows us to impart the interlocutor about our thoughts, feelings and our intention. We can communicate wishes, signal emotions and digest them, devise actions, understand coherence and exchange experiences.
As it is crucial for any intelligent individual to communicate with others, it is essential for any culture to communicate with another. Therefore it is of utmost importance to acquire deeper knowledge about the language of the T'alyu. I will subsequently elucidate my research.
