Taal

The language of the Villtur

Taal is the native language of all Villtur. It is very few known about this old language as most of the Villtur don't let themselves get captured and instead want to die in battle. Attempts of peaceful communication with any of the tribes also failed miserably. The only way for a scholar to learn this language is by joining the battlefield to document the phrases that the Villtur use.
Here are some of the phrases the linguists and translators could find out: "Banven Gildru" - The Frozen Wasteland "Deyja do heimskur mad úr stáli!" - Something like: "Die you foolish man of steel!" "Varúd! Tígrisdy!" - Right after a villtur warrior said that an ice-tiger appeared out of nowhere and caused many casualties on both sides. "Ég sil do slátrun, do konen heigull!" - Probably some sort of insult. Best not translated. "Hefur do wat ád borda?" - "We are going to kill all of you and burn down all of your settlement as our bloody gods told us to do!"

Geographical Distribution

Taal is exclusively spoken by the Villtur of the Frozen Wastelands, all other humans speak Sermo. It is unknown if there are different varieties of the villtur language as no expeditionary team could get deep enough into the Frozen Wasteland without getting killed.

Vocabulary

Even though the civilized nations know very little about the villtur language, many scholars presume that Taal doesn't consist out of many words. The reasoning behind that supposition is that in every reported conversation of Villtur, they used the same few words. They additionally have a lack of words for most of the modern technologies like canons or typewriters. Interestingly enough, they have a word for nearly every kind of magic spell there is.
