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.

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. The Ikai Taa dialects are:
