'''Talnanian''' ([[w:Endonym|endonym]]: ᠯᠢᠨᠸᠠ ᠲᠠᠯᠨᠠᠨᠶᠠᠨᠠ, ''linva talnanyana'' [[IPA for Talnanian|[ˈlinva talnaˈɲana]]]) is a [[w:Romance languages|Romance language]] spoken by the Talnanians. Compared to other Romance languages, Talnanian has derived a substantial portion of its vocabulary from [[w:Mongolian language|Mongolian]] and [[w:Persian language|Persian]], owing to the language's primary presence in Talnania. There are approximately 13.8 million speakers worldwide.

Talnanian is partially inspired aesthetically by [[w:Romanian language|Romanian]], which is its closest relative. Uniquely, it features heavier palatalization relative to Romanian (and indeed most other Romance languages). Furthermore, the language has lost noun declension. In spite of this, vowels are relatively conservative, and the neuter is preserved. It aims to showcase what would happen if Balkan Romance speakers had migrated to real-world [[w:Mongolia|Mongolia]] along the [[w:Silk Road|Silk Road]].
