| Talothic verbs have lexical aspect, meaning that verbs are inherently marked with either the [[w:Imperfective aspect|imperfective]] or [[w:Perfective aspect|perfective]] aspects. Furthermore, these aspects may be combined with the [[w:Present tense|present]], [[w:Past tense|past]], and [[w:Aorist|aorist]] tenses to form compound tenses.

Dalitian, also known as Talothic, or ýta talothíki (Talothic language) is a Maro-Ephenian Language spoken primarily by about 5 million people in Dalitia, as well as small communities throughout Avrid. It is closely related to Aeranir, and throughout history was considered an important language for art, trade, and philosophy.
