Talossan ( or or ) is a constructed language created by Robert Ben Madison in 1980 for the micronation he founded, the Kingdom of Talossa. == Overview == The Association of Talossan Language Organisations (ATLO) maintains (talossan.com ), a website describing the language for new learners, providing language information, research, and online translation to and from English.〔(El Glheþ Talossan | Information and Resources for the Student and User of the Talossan Language )〕 Talossan is perhaps one of the best-known examples of the micronational language genre of conlang. The language is spoken and used in the Kingdom of Talossa (''regipäts Talossan''), a "constitutional monarchy" with its own parliament and a bicameral legislature, founded by Madison on December 26, 1979. Talossan is also one of the best-known artistic languages on the Internet. It garners perennial interest and respect from online conlangers and conlang 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 fictional languages ever invented.〔Alex Blumberg ("It's Good to Be King" ) Wired 8.03, March 2000〕 The language is overseen by the ''Comità per l'Útzil del Glheþ'' (CÚG; the Committee for the Use of the Language), a group formed in the Kingdom of Talossa by Madison in the 1980s. This group periodically issues ''Arestadas'' (Decrees) which describe and document changes in the usage of the language, and ''Pienamaintschen'' (Supplements), which list updates to the vocabulary. The CÚG maintains a multi-lingual website providing access to the recent recommendations of the Committee.〔(Comità per l'Útzil del Glheþ ) (Committee for the Use of the Talossan Language)〕 The language, and its corresponding micronation, are mentioned in the book ''Conquering Consumerspace: Marketing Strategies for a Branded World'' by Michael R. Solomon, and the language is documented in two self-published grammars.〔 The most significant recent development in the language was the issuance of the ''Arestada sür Speliçaziun'' (Decree on Orthography) of December 12, 2007. This Arestada instituted a rule for stress that allowed many extraneous stressmarks to be omitted, simplified the vowel set by recognizing certain letters as allophones of other vowels, and respelled a few strange consonant graphemes. This ''Arestada'' is widely accepted, although some Talossan writers choose to retain pre-''Arestada'' conventions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Talossan language」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
