Oalanii, also called Seilim[1] is a comparatively reconstructed language that was most likely spoken in what is now the Moshurian city of Oalan, hence its name. Most of our knowledge of the language is reconstructed from Siktó-Oalanii and Irhekhee-Oalanii translated tablets as well as comparatively reconstructed from contemporary languages, child languages such as Zanúzh, and parent languages like Proto-Taskaric.
The Oalanii endonym is unknown, as no surviving record written in the Oalanii logographic script mentions their own name, though we know the Siktó called them the *séékm'e, which is also most likely the root of the Endépéd word for the Oalanii, zaakyuma, although this word is now mostly used to mean Moshurian speakers who are from Oalan and/or speak the unique Oalan dialect.

We know that Oalanii had at least 3 grammatical cases, and from Zanúzh, we can deduce that these cases were probably the accusative, dative and/or ablative. The existence of the ablative case is controversial, as the case does not appear in Oalanii's child language of Zanúzh.
