  • The Talossan language (El Glheþ Talossan, ISO 639 language code art) is a constructed language created by R. Ben Madison in 1980 for the micronation he founded, the Kingdom of Talossa (El Regipäts Talossan), a "constitutional monarchy" founded by Madison on December 26, 1979. Talossan is the best-known example of the micronational language genre of conlang. The language is spoken and used regularly in the Kingdom of Talossa, and has over 28,000 words in its official dictionary. The language is overseen by the Comità per l'Útzil del Glheþ (CÚG; the Committee for the Use of the Language), a group formed by Madison in 1983. 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 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 retain pre-Arestada orthographic conventions.
