Talarian was written by Padraic Brown. It is one of the languages spoken in the country of Telera, which is located in a secondary world called The World. It is an Aryan language (perhaps more Indo-Hittite than Indo-European). Sample text:

manstapurncanar! Horcyasomto! Stat-he sactasawetarams harct-ca! Ffâtyata-na çerewatyata-na-he! samctan camtar-co yesam.

Wisdom! Hear! Stand up, be quiet and listen to the Gospel! Be quiet and stop moving about! Peace be with you all...

Piece by piece, that comes down to:

mansta purncanar
wise noun-forming-suffix

Horcyasomto!
hark (active durative conjugation, pl. injunctive form)

Stat-he
stand (imperative) + empty discourse particle

sactasawetarams
holy + sutras = gospel (animate declension, accusative plural)

harct-ca!
hark (imperative) + primary focus particle (i.e., listen to it, the Gospel!)

Ffâtyata-na
talk (active durative conjugation, 3s. present subjunctive-optative) + negative particle

çerewatyata-na-he!
move about (active durative conjugation, 3s. present subjunctive-optative)
+ negative particle + empty discourse particle

samctan camtar-co yesam.
blessings (inanimate nom/acc plural)
peace (inanimate nom/acc s.) + with (postposition)
you (dative plural)

This is from the Divine Liturgy of Holy St. Thomas.
