The Thaylen language is a language spoken by the Thaylen people from the island nation Thaylenah. It is part of the Vorin language family,likely one of the first to split into its own branch based on the number of differences between Thaylen and languages like Alethi, Veden, and Herdazian [1][2]
Thaylen is characterized by its tendency to use constant clusters in words like rebsk. Various affixes appear to have different meanings and can be combined into one word like Cvaderln which has the meaning shell of Cva. [3] The suffix -bsk seems to mean master based on its use in the babsk and rebsk, which have the meanings of master/teacher and ship master respectively. Babsk itself could be the source of the suffix when it is combined with another word.
The Thaylen script is an abjad which doesn’t have characters for vowels.
