Este artigo é uma cópia de “A Enciclopédia Warcraft”, um artigo oficial da Blizzard Entertainment, que continha uma variedade de informações do universo de Warcraft. O artigo original era localizado antigamente aqui, porém não sobreviveu após as atualizações e reformas dos websites oficiais de World of Warcraft. (Entretando, uma versão arquivada está armazenada aqui).
O Thalassiano é o idioma primário dos elfos do sangue e altos elfos, e um dos quatro idiomas élficos conhecidos. Possui equivalência entre as versões escrita e falada. Indivíduos que não estão familizarizados com o nome correto do idioma podem se referir a ele como Alto Élfico.
Assim como o Nazja, idioma das nagas, o Thalassiano é uma forma derivada do idioma Darnassiano. Logo, o thalassiano é intimamente relacionado com o Darnassiano, e existem inclusive algumas sobreposições entre as duas linguagens. Expressões Darnassianas além disso, podem ter sido preservadas em Thalassiano moderno, além daquelas que são especificadas abaixo.
Até agora, os estudiosos linguísticos optaram por errar ao lado da cautela em documentar termos e frases Darnassianos que também são considerados parte do idioma Thalassiano. Certamente, este problema, apesar de delicado, necessita de aprofundamento na pesquisa. Todavia, dirigir-se a um alto elfo ou elfo do sangue com uma palavra ou frase específica do Darnassiano pode ser considerado ofensivo ou no mínimo um pouco tolo, logo o orador deve ter cautela em como lidar com a situação.
Aqui também estão algumas frases e termos comuns, que tiveram suas traduções oficialmente confirmadas pela Blizzard:

High elven names 
Edit
The past is a burden to the high elves, yet they maintain naming rituals that are millennia old. Many of the names of elven priests and heroes have become the names used for elves in modern times. The high elves share a connection with the sun that is quite prevalent in their choice of family names.
- Male Names: Mariel, Athaniar, Anandor, Tharama, Viridiel, Malanior.
- Female Names: Anarial, Driana, Coria, Alanassori, Melanion, Azshara, Anna.
- Family Names: Boughstrider, Dawnblade, Lightbringer, Morningray, Suntreader.

- Thalas’din belore – inscripted on Fal’inrush, Defender of Quel’thalas.
- Thalas means king, belore means “the sun”, so one can assume it is probably along the lines of “Kingdom of the Sun”, especially given the context. The only other time “din” is used in a word is “ban’dinoriel”, or “gatekeeper”, and considering “ban” is separated, one can most likely say that “dinoriel” is “keeper”, and since there is a root to that word, saying “din” is gate isn’t implausible. This would make the phrase most likely be “Keeper [of the] Kingdom [of] the Sun”.
- Zaram – “Blade”[citation needed.
Thalassian speculation Edit
This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials.*Thalassian word parser Edit
This is the list of words created by the in-game language parser for the Thalassian language, and is listed as language number ten (word range 800-901) in the Language text file.
In the in-game translator, the language parser for Thalassian shares similar words with the Darnassian parser.
Note: The language algorithm used by the in-game “translator” merely makes the words look like Thalassian. It does not actually translate words. Therefore, translated in-game speech isn’t truly Thalassian.

Darnassian vs. Thalassian speculation Edit
This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials.*Of note, Kael’thas greeted Tyrande and Maiev with “Ishnu’Alah” when they met in the Plaguelands. This may mean that some of the words still have the same meaning in both languages, or that some phrases have, over thousands of years, lost their offensive implications in their respective languages. It also could be that Kael’thas knew Darnassian.
History speculation Edit
After the high elves were exiled from Kalimdor by the night elves, they set up in the Eastern Kingdoms. There, they lived for millennia, cultivating their culture and their magic. Because of their long life spans, Thalassian, as they called their language, still retains parts of the old language. In fact, it is possible that Thalassian is not therefore a separate language, and is merely a dialect of Darnassian. Even if this were the case, however, the two languages would still not be mutually intelligible.
Thalassian outside the Warcraft Universe Edit
An award-winning song from the BlizzCon 2007 Song Contest was “Belore Shala Diel”, sung in Thalassian and English, by Phillip Presswood (Xalea).
