Darnassian, Thalassian, and Nazja 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, seeing as Thalassian evolved from Darnassian, just as the high elves evolved from the night elves when the highborne were exiled to the Eastern Kingdoms.

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.
