The Talossan Language is a constructed language created in 1980 by Robert Ben Madison. It is primarily spoken in the virtual nation of Talossa, which was founded as a playful experiment in nation-building. Talossan draws inspiration from various Romance languages, particularly French, Italian, and Spanish, and features a unique grammar and vocabulary. Talossan is used in various cultural and governmental contexts within Talossa. The language has its own literature, including poetry and prose, and is an essential part of the identity of Talossan speakers. Efforts to promote and develop the language continue, fostering a sense of community among its users.
