In the fiction of [[J. R. R. Tolkien]], '''Taliska''' was the language spoken by the [[House of Bëor|Bëorian]] (First) and [[House of Hador|Hadorian]] (Third) Houses of the [[Atanatári]], who spoke different dialects. |

|||
The Second House of Men spoke an unrelated language, the [[Haladin]] tongue. This language and Taliska were not mutually intelligible. |
|||
The exact origin of Taliska is not clear, but certain is that there are both [[Elvish language|Elvish]] and Dwarvish ([[Khuzdul]]) influences, suggesting the [[Atanatári]] (Fathers of Men) had contacts with both peoples before arriving in [[Beleriand]]. |
|||
[[Adûnaic]], the language of [[Númenor]], and ultimately also [[Westron]] (the "Common Speech" from ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'') are derived from Taliska. |

Taliska, unlike Tolkien's later languages, was originally based on the [[Germanic languages]], and has a lot in common with the [[Gothic language]], which shows that Tolkien tried to connect his mythos with the origins of Europe. Gothic was an early interest of Tolkien. A rather complete grammar and syntax of that early version of Taliska is known to exist, but despite work by [[Tolkienist]]s this has [[as of 2008]] not yet been published. |
|||
The ''Germanic'' origin of Taliska was dropped in the major revisions to the [[legendarium]] Tolkien undertook after the publication of ''The Lord of the Rings'', but the concept language survived as the primordial tongue of the forefathers of the [[Númenórean]]s. |
