Tíogall is a pluricentric language with a high degree of dialect diversity - it is an official language in three countries, the peninsular [[Verse:Duínidhe|Duínidhe]] with more dialect diversity, the larger [[Verse:Neoibhir|Neoibhir]] with less dialect diversity, and [[Verse:Phormatin]] in addition to [[Phormatolidin]]. With 125 million speakers it's the largest Talmic language in terms of number of speakers. Like most modern Talmic languages, {{PAGENAME}} is a descendant of [[Thensarian]]. It is spoken on the northwest coast of the continent of Etalocin (called ''Éatha'' in Tíogall) on the planet of Clotricin. | Tíogall is a pluricentric language with a high degree of dialect diversity - it is an official language in three countries, the peninsular [[Verse:Duínidhe|Duínidhe]] with more dialect diversity, the larger [[Verse:Neoibhir|Neoibhir]] with less dialect diversity, and [[Verse:Phormatin]] in addition to [[Phormatolidin]].

Modern Tíogall arose as a koiné from disparate earlier Tíogallic dialects descended from [[Old Tíogall]]. Tíogall rapidly gained prominence over a larger area and came to serve as a lingua franca for the Talma region until [[Clofabosin]] gained global standing. | Modern Tíogall arose as a koiné from disparate earlier Tíogallic dialects descended from [[Old Tíogall]].
