Tsolyani is a classical conlang by M. A. R. Barker, spoken in his conworld Tékumel; the language is widely considered one of the finest examples of a naturalistic artlang. The world of Tékumel, the setting of the role-playing game Empire of the Petal Throne, is famed for its colour and exoticity.
Tsolyani is an agglutinating language; most inflections are prefixes, but suffixes also occur in the language. Nouns are divided into three genders: noble, ignoble and unclassifiable. The noun takes a gender/number suffix and several prefixes. Verbs are not conjugated for person and number, nor tense, but take various valence-changing prefixes.
