Remove ads
Tallán is an extinct and poorly attested language of the Piura Region of Peru. It is too poorly known to be definitively classified. It may have a possible connection to neighboring Sechura, termed the Sek languages.
 | It has been suggested that Catacaoan languages be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since September 2025. |
In Glottolog and in Jolkesky (2016), the two attested Catacaoan languages, Catacao and Colán, are listed as dialects of Tallán.[2][1]
