+ | Darnassian, [[Thalassian]], and Najza seem to have many common phrases, and Thalassian might be so similar to Darnassian that it would be more correct to call it a dialect, rather than a separate language. (someone please look at this, seeing as Thalassians and Darnassians are barely related to eachother and for as far as i know didnt have any contact either. it is ofcourse possible that both languages have the same origin. but to call Thalassian a dialect of Darnassian would be rude, seeing as both civilisations were completely different and neither in any way superior to the other.) |

+ | *belore (sun) |
||
− | *[[Instances by level]] |
||
+ | *malanore (traveler) |
||
+ | *anore (people) |
||
+ | When looking at another noun: '''dorei''' - used in ''kaldorei'' and ''sin'dorei'' - it is always referred to mean ''children''. Never simply ''a child''. |

Darnassian, Thalassian, and Najza seem to have many common phrases, and Thalassian might be so similar to Darnassian that it would be more correct to call it a dialect, rather than a separate language. (someone please look at this, seeing as Thalassians and Darnassians are barely related to eachother and for as far as i know didnt have any contact either. it is ofcourse possible that both languages have the same origin. but to call Thalassian a dialect of Darnassian would be rude, seeing as both civilisations were completely different and neither in any way superior to the other.)

Grammar rules
Singular and plural
Concerning nouns in plural and singular, there have been found a pattern which could be either a coincidence or actually intended by the creator of Thalassian.
The following words are all presumed nouns in singular (with its speculated meaning in parenthesis):
- belore (sun)
- malanore (traveler)
- anore (people)
When looking at another noun: dorei - used in kaldorei and sin'dorei - it is always referred to mean children. Never simply a child.
Therefore it could be so that nouns, atleast those that is presumed a noun and end with -ore, can simply be added an -i to become plural.
For example could:
- belorei mean the suns
- malanorei mean the travelers
- anorei mean the peoples
and
- sin'dore mean simply child of blood.
Note that this is not official, but a speculation.
