Can anyone help me learn, or email me a wordlist of the very first Talossan language? I found something on the old website. Here it is:
Archaic Talossan (December 1980)
The very earliest Talossan texts were a kind of pidgin, with basic vocabulary (pronouns, numbers, conjunctions, articles) coming from French, Spanish or Catalan, with some Romanian admixture. Some rudimentary grammar was also taken from the Romance languages, especially Portuguese, but most of the vocabulary was English with various Romance endings added on (-eu for nouns; -mente for adverbs, etc). As such, this "Archaic Talossan" barely constituted a language at all, but reflected the limited linguistic understandings of its 15-year old creator. A sample from December, 1980:
"Talossa nostreu c'estas almostemente uneu noveu landeu," said Kingeu Robert I todayeu. Uneu noveu Mapeu d'Talossa c'estas in "l'Libreu d'Talossa," a showar qu'l's-changeux in Talossa haveu estescu muy mucheux. "Havemos reachescu nostreu goaleu nationaleu, i estamos happyeux," said l'Kingeu.

Can anyone help me learn, or email me a wordlist of the very first Talossan language? We don't have complete information on the early stages of the language. But if you go to provincuns.com/books you can find a copy of the 1997 edition of the Treisour (Talossan dictionary), which has date and source language codes for many of the words (in the English>Talossan volume). Look for words with 80 or 81 in those codes and you'll find a sample of the vocabulary from the first year or so of the language's history.

Thread necromancy! I lost my version of the Treisour, and the Provînçuns website is down. Anybody got anything to spare? Both languages would be super.
