Today's linguistic map of First Peoples' languages in some respects reflects the cultural boundaries that were "frozen" in place at the time of colonization - prior to that the boundaries were often shifting, especially from the foundation of the Altazorian trade-based empire of the latest precolonial period, when Central Altazorian became a ''lingua franca'' throughout the territory that became the Ardisphere. Before the 1300's, the extent of the Altazorian language was much more limited, while there is evidence of several now extinct languages in the Costa region and in the hill country that is now southern Colonia Coreana and north Departamento Libertad. The evidence of a Lonica-related substrate to northern Altazorian is particularly strong.
'''Transportes Tarrasenses''' (also called simply ''TT'' or ''Los Trantar'') is the monopoly public transportation provider in [[Tárrases]]. It is a consortium including [[Caja Negra (bank)|Caja Negra]] (a local bank and venture capital firm), the [[Mahhal|Mahhalian]] company [[Jessitim Transport Services|Jessitim Transport Services, LTD.]] (which provides the engineering and operational expertise) and the Tarrasean government (which holds final decision-making authority).

The languages have been organized based on philological and diachronic analysis to belong to 4 main language families plus one isolate. The grouping is as follows:
= Organizational Structure =


* Altazorian-Albalongan Family
= Services =
** South Altazorian Group
*** Albalongan
*** Costese (Albalongan with Altazorian borrowings and Chemeco substrate)
** North Altazorian Group (members mutually comprehensible)
*** Central Altazorian
*** North Altazorian (many borrowings from Lonica)
** Bahíanegran Group
*** Denedere
*** Yayugo
* Domudu Family (some argue these are really the same language, but Domudu shows extensive borrowing from Lonica and Altazorian while Desert Domudu is "more pure")
** Domudu
** Desert Domudu
* Lonica Family
** Lonica
** Chemeco
* Caruque (isolate)

In the first millenium CE, the Domudu language included all the land surrounding [[Marverde (Ardisphere)|Marverde]], with Caruque forming a kind of linguistic enclave, apparently, near their current cultural center at the town they still call [[Nudae-si, CC|Caruque]]. The Tlönic people favored the Caruque over the Domudu, however, and thus Caruque became a kind of secondary ''lingua franca'' for the north Marverde region.
== Trams (Light Rail) ==


The Albalongan language was the first Altazorian language to become dominant, and during the early Albalongan period (13th century CE) the language family did not extend north of the [[Sierra de los Cientoocho]]. However, with Albalongan military success and expansion, the Albalongan language quickly supplanted the local Domuduan and Lonica dialects that had dominated east-central Ardisphere before, and quickly evolved into the various dialects known today as Altazorian.
The tram "Gray line" (really a light rail) was built in the 1990s.


The Altazorian dialects differ substantially from their Albalongan parent-language, but they are all mutually comprehensible. The Albalongan language itself is considered extinct, in its classical form, but many Costense speakers are ethnically Albalongan even if they now speak an Altazorian dialect. This was already true when the Castellanese colonists first arrived.
A single tram line, 14.3 km in length, currently runs between the El Estoque ferry terminal (southwest) and the Serpiente Ascendente bus terminal (northeast).


In modern times, with modern media and the pressures of [[Castellanese]], [[Gohangukian]] and other languages, there have been efforts to standardize the Altazorian language to improve its chances of survival. There is now an Institute of the Altazorian language in the city of Altazor which works at developing media and materials in this standardized language, based on the Central Altazorian dialect, where the current native-speaking population is concentrated.
The line was originally built because Tárrases was trying to pivot to a more tourism-based economy, so it was an effort to connect the main international arrivals (cruise-ships, ferries and airport) with the main attractions, including the casino district (Juegos) and the old city (Viejo Tárrases). The system has proved popular however, with extensions having been added on both ends, from the original southern terminus at the cruise ship terminal and from the original northern terminus at the government complex.


Similar movement is under way on a smaller scale with Desert Domudu, with the establishment of a Domudu Studies Institute in [[Altiplano, DM]]. There is no such organized effort to preserve the Lonica language, with its fragmented dialects and sparsely distributed population, but the [[Universidad Gautámica Guanseúm Bosal]] at [[Cerro y Casa, DO]] recently created a Lonica Language Department.
A new branch line to the east is slated to be opened in 2017, with a subsequent realignment of the routes so that there will three routes, total.

Transportes Tarrasenses (also called simply TT or Los Trantar) is the monopoly public transportation provider in Tárrases. It is a consortium including Caja Negra (a local bank and venture capital firm), the Mahhalian company Jessitim Transport Services, LTD. (which provides the engineering and operational expertise) and the Tarrasean government (which holds final decision-making authority).

Trams (Light Rail)

The tram "Gray line" (really a light rail) was built in the 1990s.

A single tram line, 14.3 km in length, currently runs between the El Estoque ferry terminal (southwest) and the Serpiente Ascendente bus terminal (northeast).

The line was originally built because Tárrases was trying to pivot to a more tourism-based economy, so it was an effort to connect the main international arrivals (cruise-ships, ferries and airport) with the main attractions, including the casino district (Juegos) and the old city (Viejo Tárrases). The system has proved popular however, with extensions having been added on both ends, from the original southern terminus at the cruise ship terminal and from the original northern terminus at the government complex.

A new branch line to the east is slated to be opened in 2017, with a subsequent realignment of the routes so that there will three routes, total.

Gray Line

The existing route (recently re-classified as "Gray Line" in anticipation of the new branches) has twenty stops, from northeast to southwest as follows:

Yellow and Black Lines

The branch line is about 95% complete at this point. The new line extends to Arrozales (map) and will open in late 2017. It may later be extended further eastward.

The current plan is once the branch line opens, the system will be re-conceptualized into 3 separate lines, with Gray being the original "El Estoque <-> Serpiente" line, Yellow being "El Estoque <-> Arrozales" and Black being "Arrozales <-> Serpiente." The newly adopted TT logo (above right) already incorporates this concept into its design, where the 3 branches form a "T" - thus the logo is an abstraced map of the system.

Taxis

Both car taxis and van jitneys (shared taxis, locally called dinaleros, named for the old-time one-dinar fare typically charged) are all privately owned and operated, but dispatch is controlled by Transportes Tarrasenses through various dispatch offices, and a unified fare payment system exists that allows the use of the same electronic cashless cards as for buses, trams and ferries.

Ferries

Ferries are of course important in an island country with several populated outlying islands. Ferries are unified to the transport system both in terms of scheduling and fare structure, as well as payment methods accepted. Notably, free transfers are generally allowed between ferries and buses and trams.
