Thalassian (speculation)

Darnassian, Thalassian, and Nazja seem to have many common phrases, and Thalassian might be so similar to Darnassian that it would be more correct to call it a dialect, rather than a separate language. There are, however, many words, forms, and tenses that differ to the extent that they probably should be considered different languages. The first thing to keep in mind is that Thalassian does not follow the rules of English and there is often likely no "word for word" literal translation of any given phrase. To find the meaning behind given phrases takes a little more effort then, but the first step to figuring out the structure of a language is in identifying parts of speech.

*(?)
*"Talah" could be connected as an opposite word to "alah", which presumably means "light"
*Similar to the word "Tal", which means "death" in the sentence "Tal anu'men no Sin'dorei!"
*May also mean "true death" as a whole
Thalas 	Kingdom/Home

*High Kingdom/Home
*Kingdom/Home(?)(the) Sun
Thas 	Forest 	
* Thas'dorah
* Thas'alah

===Verbs===
This table is an effort to further systematize the "known" Thalassian verbs. Third person forms are used in the English translations for the sake of simplicity. Words in italic are "logic speculations" derived from the more "known" tenses, and should probably not be used as a base to derive other words.
