'''Thalassian''' is the language of the [[high elves]], [[half-elves]], [[half blood-elves]], and [[blood elves]] — a derivative of the [[Darnassian]] language of the [[night elves]]. It has both written and spoken equivalents. Individuals who are unfamiliar with the language's proper name may refer to it as ''high elven'' (not to be confused with the language [[Elven (language)|Elven]]).

==Objectives==
Like [[Nazja]], Thalassian is derived from the Darnassian language.<ref name="Thalassian576">http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/encyclopedia/576.xml</ref> The elder tongue is almost forgotten.<ref>''[[Day of the Dragon]]'', 136</ref> Hence, Thalassian is closely related to Darnassian and there is some overlap between the two languages. Further Darnassian utterances may therefore have been preserved in modern Thalassian.<ref name="Thalassian576"/>

==Description==
So far, linguistic scholars have opted to err on the side of caution in documenting Darnassian terms and phrases that are also considered part of the Thalassian language. Certainly this issue, however delicate, merits further research. Nevertheless, addressing a high elf or blood elf with a Darnassian-specific word or phrase can be considered offensive or at the very least rather foolish, and so the speaker must handle the situation with care.<ref name="Thalassian576"/>
 
  +
We have warriors out in the field who are falling wounded, and many of our druids are too busy fighting to give them proper aid. I need you to go to the north, towards the [[Ashen Fields]], and tend their wounds at least enough that they can make it back to safety.
   
  +
If you haven't any bandages or healing spells, I had [[Rayne Feathersong|Rayne]] put together this salve, which should prove sufficient to get them on their feet.
This is one of the four known elven dialects.<ref>''[[Cycle of Hatred]]'', 67</ref>

To our fortune, [[Ragnaros]]' forces far more often injure our warriors than outright kill them. Their attacks naturally cauterize the wounds they inflict. It's very painful, but it's better than death.

===High elven names===
 
The past is a burden to the high elves, yet they maintain naming rituals that are millennia old. Many of the names of elven priests and heroes have become the names used for elves in modern times. The high elves share a connection with the sun that is quite prevalent in their choice of family names.
 
* Male Names: Mariel, Athaniar, Anandor, Tharama, Viridiel, Malanior.
 
* Female Names: Anarial, Freja, Driana, Coria, Alanassori, Melanion, Azshara.
 
* Family Names: Boughstrider, Dawnblade, Lightbringer, Morningray, Suntreader.

==Thalassian speculation==
 
{{Speculation}}
 
=== Thalassian word parser ===
 
This is the list of words created by the in-game language parser for the Thalassian language, and is listed as language number ten (word range 800-901) in the Language text file.
 
 
In the in-game translator, the language parser for Thalassian shares similar words with the Darnassian parser.
 
 
Note: The language algorithm used by the in-game "translator" merely makes the words look like Thalassian. It does not actually translate words. Therefore, translated in-game speech isn't truly Thalassian.

=== Translations speculation ===
 
For fan translations see [[Thalassian/speculation]].
 
 
=== Darnassian vs. Thalassian speculation ===
 
Of note, [[Kael'thas]] greeted [[Tyrande]] and [[Maiev]] with "Ishnu'Alah" when [[Shards of the Alliance|they met]] in the Plaguelands. This may mean that some of the words still have the same meaning in both languages, or that some phrases have, over thousands of years, lost their offensive implications in their respective languages.
 
 
=== History speculation ===
 
After the [[high elves]] were exiled from [[Kalimdor]] by the [[night elves]], they set up in the [[Eastern Kingdoms]]. There, they lived for millennia, cultivating their culture and their magic. Because of their long life spans, Thalassian, as they called their language, still retains parts of the old language. In fact, it is possible that Thalassian is not therefore a separate language, and is merely a dialect of Darnassian. Even if this were the case, however, the two languages would still not be mutually intelligible.
 
 
== Thalassian Outside the Warcraft Universe ==
 
An award-winning song from the 2007 Blizzcon Song Contest was "Belore Shala Diel", sung in Thalassian and English, by Phillip Presswood (Xalea).
