While Taa itself is a dialect group, the prompt gave the A.I. no such indication. However, due to vast amounts of contradictory information in the text and the A.I. generating the language's name inconsistently, I chose to analyze the generation as describing 4 different dialects and organized the information in a document according to the dialect it pertained to. Due to this apparent splintering, the A.I. wrote very little information about the language the dialects stem from. | While Taa itself is a dialect group, the prompt gave the A.I. no such indication.

The description of Ikai Taa's dialects as dialects is questionable. Ikai Taa is more similar to a proto-language because the daughter-languages' phonologies and morphosyntax are drastically different from it and each other. Not to mention one of the dialects is canonically a conlang and another has become 2 entire language families. Nonetheless, they are referred to as dialects.
