Taliska is a constructed language devised by J. R. R. Tolkien. It is one of the many fictional language set in his Secondary world, often called Middle-earth.

Taliska was based on the Gothic language^[1]. Gothic was an early interest of Tolkien. A grammar and a lexicon of Taliska are known to exist, but they has as of 2011^[update] not been published.

In Middle-earth, Taliska when first devised, was the language spoken by Men, the Bëorian and Hadorian House.

Later Adûnaic, the language of Númenor, displaced Taliska and during the years of the writing of The Lord of the Rings) Tolkien toyed with the idea of making Taliska the primordial tongue of the people of Rohan.
