Tacchoan is one of the world's five major language families, native to Taccho. Proto-Tacchoan has been reconstructed.

Members

The Tacchoan branches on Taccho: Esselis in green, Rumesselis in purple, Kipoa in yellow, and Usy in a small separate yellow area. Red marks the neighbouring Herta-Olaic family, which is not a Tacchoan branch.

Tacchoan languages are divided into four branches:

Esselis, the most widely spoken of the four, in the centre of the continent.
Rumesselis, a relatively similar subfamily to the Esselis branch, spoken in the north of the continent.
Kipoa, a subfamily spoken in the south-east of the continent, and in small areas of Lovvocia through colonial ties.
Usy, the family's only single-language branch, spoken on the island of Usings; it stands apart from the other three branches while remaining within the family.
