'''Talma''' ([[Skellan]]: ''Talma'' /t̪ʰãmə/, from [[Naeng]] ''Tălma'' /təlˈmɒ/, from ''tăle ăma'' 'mother land'; [[Netagin]]: ''Talma'') is a cultural region of the conplanet [[Verse:Tricin|Tricin]]. It is actually the northwestern portion of a landmass called Eta-Talma (Windermere: ''Eta-Tălma''). The southern part of Eta-Talma is [[Verse:Tricin/Etalocin|Etalocin]], which is separated from Talma by the Venlafaxin Mountains. [[Verse:Tricin/Bjeheond|Bjeheond]] is located to the south of Talma separated by the Naeng Sea.

==Languages==
==Holidays==
The following language families are represented in Etalocin:
Here are some common holidays celebrated in Talman and Bjeheondian-derived cultures.
====''Sarðbyçán''====
Traditionally, the ''Sarðbyçán'' (Spring Equinox; Windermere: ''Păchan Șer'') holiday was celebrated in Talman paganism in order to bring good harvest for the year.
 
For the Spring Equinox holiday, there are foods that use lightly-flavored mushrooms, along with other spring herbs and other "bright"/tart-flavored ingredients.


Linguistic areas:
====''Bleesi''====
*Talma (head-initial, more analytic)
Bleesi has its origins in the Tigol "festival of horns".
**Nurian area
====''Sdahnsa''====
***Aspiration and gemination
Sdahnsa (Windermere: ''Stansa'', from [[Tigol]] ''Sdannasa'' 'gathering') is the celebration of the harvest.
***Small vowel system with palatalization
***More synthetic
**Continental Talman Linguistic Area
***Split-ergativity
*** l vocalizes into a uvular or pharyngealized resonant
***Complex clusters
***Large vowel system
***VSO order
***Head-marking in possessive NPs, with construct state or 3rd person possessive marking
***Grammatical mutation

Xiðaf (Windermere: ''Șidaf''), meaning "remembrance [of the dead]", is the fasting period in Ngronaism, especially Mărotłism. A more restrictive diet is followed for the month of Çatxiðaf until Vinwr 1, which is Bwrjadraig or Winter Solstice. The fasting is explained as mental preparation for scarcity of winter and remembering the loved ones who died.
*Modern Tamil
*Adutsib topolects

==Society==
Etalocin was, and still to a large extent is, a [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CrapsaccharineWorld Crapsaccharine World]. Etalocin boasts a robust tradition of intellectual activity, especially in mathematics and music. However, Etalocian society is a highly stratified meritocracy, which historically caused considerable friction between social classes.
Talma boasts a robust tradition of intellectual activity in the sciences, philosophy, and music. However, Talman society historically was a highly stratified meritocracy, which historically caused considerable friction between social classes.


Historically the social cost of nonconformity was quite severe. Crimes were punished harshly. Legally, the most common punishments were exile, imprisonment and forced labor but often the criminals were tortured, castrated, or executed, in addition to public shaming.

===Impact of birth control===
===Impact of birth control===
''Hmlai'' ([[Eevo]]) is a contraceptive plant native to Talma that's easy to farm, thus providing premodern Talmans with cheap birth control. (We'll call it ''silphium'' in English.)

*Premodern Talman culture doesn't have a traditionalist sexual morality (neither does modern Talman culture).
*Premodern Talman culture doesn't have a traditionalist sexual morality (neither does modern Talman culture).
*Equal rights for women has always been an ideal, if not reality, in Talman culture in recorded history. (This is not because of some innate moral superiority of Talmans but largely due to external factors.)

The following applies broadly to Talma as well as societies founded by Talman settlers, such as [[Verse:Tricin/Fyxoom|Fyxoom]].
====Primary and secondary education====
====Primary and secondary education====
Teaching basic literacy, arithmetic and finance, and inculcation of liberal values (which is a part of how Ngronaism is interpreted today), are considered the most important function of public education.
[...]
 
Since education in higher levels is much more fragmented and stratified, primary school curriculum is standardized and efforts are made to cultivate a sense of empathy towards people of other backgrounds in primary school. (A child may test out of the literacy and math requirements.) [[Verse:Tricin/Ngronaism|The civic religion]] is taught with lessons about history, literature, and philosophy.
 
Secondary school is less determined. There are topics such as sex education and more Ngronaism lessons which are mandatory (in time for adolescence), but secondary schools are otherwise free to develop their own curricula.
 
Some public secondary schools offer more specialized curricula in the sciences, arts or the humanities, geared towards students who wish to enter universities (see below). For illustration, this is a typical modern Etalocian science school math curriculum:
 
*Geometry, equations and functions
*Calculus (one-variable and multivariable)
*Ordinary differential equations
*Probability and statistics; combinatorics
*Linear algebra.


Lastly, traditional-style private boarding schools still exist.

====Higher education====
====Higher education====
=====Apprenticeships and trade schools=====
Humanities in science degrees, Naquian style
Apprenticeship, which is highly decentralized, attempts to teach skills directly relevant to a career path that a person wishes to enter; most of the time it leads directly to internships or jobs. Trade schools attempt to scale up this apprenticeship process, and have historical origins in apprenticeships.


Apprenticeships include:
==Art==
* training for most jobs in the sciences (in Tricin, this notion includes psychology and economics) such as coding, lab technician, ...
===Visual art===
* training for musicians
Non-representational art based on geometrical patterns predominates, such as tiling patterns and creating various shapes by cutting and folding paper.
* training for pink collar jobs such as nursing/social work/therapy/sex work.
===Literature===
* teacher schools, for primary and secondary school teachers
===Theater===
 
The aristocracy consumed early forms of Talman theater. However, theater as a public art form enjoyed a boom starting in the post-Grouidite Revolution period, with Etsoj Jopah's and Lesch Mltzhyphe's writings.
=====Professional schools=====
Medical, law, dentistry, pharmacy, psychiatry, engineering schools.
 
=====Universities=====
Universities are considered appropriate only for those who aim to eventually enter research or teaching in higher education, or those who simply wish to undertake a particularly intense study of a subject. Only 5% (fT 2453) of Anøvrians and 5.3% (fT 2456) of Fyxámians are university students or graduates. Enrollment requires an entrance exam.
 
For illustration, this is what a curriculum for a modern (~fT 2460) undergraduate pure math student might look like (roughly corresponds to upper undergraduate and early graduate courses at our universities):


1st year
Typically the most attractive actors and actresses were selected for protagonist roles. [?]
*Writing proofs
*Combinatorics
*Elementary number theory
*Probability
*Formal linear algebra
2nd year
*Abstract algebra (Groups, rings, modules, fields, Galois theory)
*Real analysis (Axiomatic calculus)
*Point-set topology
*PDEs
*Complex analysis
3rd year
*Real analysis (Lebesgue measure and integration)
*Differential geometry
*Algebraic topology
4th year
*Advanced number theory
*Category theory/Mathematical logic
*A capstone course, involving independent study of a topic (if the student wishes to graduate in their 4th year, instead of continuing into graduate studies)

====Buildings====
looks like something a music-geometry synaesthete would dream up
*gently curved, sloping roofs like in traditional Japanese architecture?
*tessellations like in Islamic architecture? (and isomorphic keyboards)
*space and relationships are emphasized (just as relationships between notes are important)
*multiple layers, with varying ratios used - overkill?
Material-wise, polished wood is the main material in many buildings; expensive buildings such as palaces use more stone, mortar, and ebony.
====Gardens====
====Gardens====
Gardens are highly valued in Talman culture. They may be based on "natural balancing" or based on intricate patterns.


===Fashion===
===Fashion===
1300dd-1400dd: Men wore more "outdoors" outfit than women. [I don't know what an outdoor outfit would look like tho, and how all this shd interact with vegetarianism]

==Technology==
==Technology==
Modern Trician technology is more advanced than ours.
Modern Talman and Fyxoomian technology is more advanced than ours. Almost all cars are electric, and solar, wind, hydrogen and thorium energy are the main energy sources. Fossil fuels are still used for airplanes.
 
==Cuisine==
Vegetarian cuisine has been advocated by various ethical philosophies that prohibit either killing or inflicting suffering on animals. Some form of vegetarianism is common among modern Etalocians. Talman vegetarianism usually allows at most one of:
*milk
*eggs
*insects, seafood and fish


==Calendar==
Vegetarians are fairly evenly distributed among all social classes. Being a morally contentious issue, cuisine has been a subject of cultural conflict and even wars over Talman history.


==Cuisine==
Veganism is a modern invention, after the invention of factory farming and synthetic vitamin B12; it is more common for more affluent people to be vegan.  
Vegetarian cuisine has been backed by various ethical philosophies that prohibit either killing or inflicting suffering on animals. Some form of vegetarianism is common among Etalocians; however, vegetarians are less common among lower classes.


Using umami ingredients such as seaweeds and mushrooms, and herbs and spices is common to make up for the lack of meat.
