-'''{{PAGENAME}}''' ({{PAGENAME}}: ''an Sceolamh'' /ə ˈʃtʃoːʟəv/ or ''an gháth Sceolamh'' /ə ɣa:θ ˈθiːɡəʟ/ 'the {{PAGENAME}} language'; English: SHCHOLE-uhv or SHOLE-uhv) is a [[Talmic languages|Talmic language]] inspired by Irish, German and English. {{PAGENAME}} began as a thought experiment posing the question "What would Irish look like with umlaut instead of palatalization?".
+'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a [[Talmic languages|Talmic language]] inspired by Irish. In Tricin, it is an analogue of German in terms of influence and grammar. Originally I called this language Tíogall, or variants, and it was a thought experiment posing the question "What would Irish look like with umlaut instead of palatalization?". For a while it developed as an Irish-German hybrid. When I decided to rework Talma, I decided to remove all of the obvious "giblangs" from the modern world, or languages with the aesthetics of one natlang (unless the premise was funny, like [[Bhadhagha]] or [[Phormatolidin]]). Since Tíogall was obviously an Irish with German characteristics, it was abandoned.
-{{PAGENAME}} is a pluricentric language - it is an official language in three countries, the peninsular Sceola with more dialect diversity, the larger Anbhair with less dialect diversity, and in Phormatin in addition to [[Phormatolidin]]. It is 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 {{PAGENAME}}) on the planet of Clotricin.
+{{PAGENAME}} is an official language of Sceola and Sceolan colonies and is the second-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 {{PAGENAME}}) on the planet of Clotricin. Thanks in large part to the printing press, Modern {{PAGENAME}} rapidly gained prominence over a larger area in Northern Talma and came to serve as a lingua franca for northern mainland Talma. Today, {{PAGENAME}} still enjoys status as a "cultured" language and is one of the most widely taught foreign languages.
-Modern Standard {{PAGENAME}} arose as a literary koiné from disparate earlier {{PAGENAME}}ic dialects descended from [[Old Eevo]] from around fT 1160dd (1968). Thanks in large part to the printing press, {{PAGENAME}} rapidly gained prominence over a larger area in Northern Talma and came to serve as a lingua franca for northern mainland Talma. Today, {{PAGENAME}} still enjoys status as a "cultured" language and is one of the most widely taught foreign languages.
