The Ministry of Culture is pleased to announce that a long-term objective of the current Minister is near to being completed. Through the long work of the Ladîntsch Naziunál and other Talossan-speakers, we are coming very close to the release of major new materials which will enable every since citizen of our proud nation to learn and speak the basics of our national language, el glheþ Talossán. UPDATE: It is now released.

Minister,
I am sure a massive amount of work has gone into the creation of these new Talossan materials for which we are all grateful.
Could I ask whether the new learning materials will be in line with modern Talossan or if archaic elements of our language have been used? I ask because I know your own preference is to use older versions of the National Language and I'm just wondering if the new material could lead to confusion if it contradicts other guides and books already published.

The learning materials have been put together main by the Ladîntsch Naziunál, a known supporter of Reformed Spelling, so I assume that will be used. This is something that I'm pretty relaxed about these days.

Who is the Ladîntsch Naziunál? I looked on the wiki but we don't seem to have a page for that. I know Iustì Carlüs Canun is the CUG President... is Sir C. M. Siervicül the Ladîntsch Naziunál?

I am. And yes, the course is based on the latest recommendations of the CÚG, as are most Talossan materials produced over the past few years.

Thanks to you both for answering my query. I was simply curious.

It's just getting the once-over at MiniCult Towers and it should be good to go within 24 hours.

I would strongly encourage everyone to register an account on Memrise and sign up for the course. If we get 100 learners, they will add Talossan to the list of languages in their course directory (instead of the course appearing under "Other Languages").

Well there are certainly quite a few ways to refer to the Prime Minister!

I've also discovered that Tric'hard Carschaleir's avatar on Memrise is a picture of Vivec from TES III Morrowind, so that presumably makes four of us Elder Scrolls lovers in Talossa.
