Tallán, or Atalán, is an extinct and poorly attested language of the Piura Region of Peru. It is too poorly known to be definitively classified. See Sek languages for a possible connection to neighboring Sechura.
In Glottolog and in Jolkesky (2016), the two attested Catacaoan languages, Catacao and Colán, are listed as dialects of Tallán.[1]
Dialects
Mason (1950) lists Apichiquí, Cancebí, Charapoto, Pichote, Pichoasac, Pichunsi, Manabí, Jarahusa, and Jipijapa as dialects of Atalán.[2]
Rivet (1924) lists Manta, Huancavilca, Puna, and Tumbez within an Atalán family.[3]
