It has 3 main dialect groups: Mainland, Eastern, and Western (also known as the Hrastmozh dialect).

Classification and status

With a lot of foreign influence during the last few centuries the language has taken in a lot of Thuado-Thrismaran and even some Aschari influence, due to which the modern grammar is very poluted compared to it's original form, of which there are very little texts, due to active periods of supressions from more powerfull nations, which makes the language hard to classify, some believe it to be a relative of the now extinct Hewehetan language in Hondonia. The status of the langauge is classiffied as Vigorous, the language is spoken by majority of the ethnic Tayamese population.

Orthography

Tayamo is written in the latin script in Hondonia and in the cyrillic script in Kentalis.
