Talian (Venetian: [taˈljaŋ], Italian: [taˈljan], Portuguese: [tɐliˈɐ̃]), or Brazilian Venetian, is a dialect of the Venetian language, spoken primarily in the Serra Gaúcha region in the northeast of the state of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil. It is also spoken in other parts of Rio Grande do Sul, as well as in parts of Espirito Santo and of Santa Catarina.

Despite the similar names, Talian is not derived from standard Italian (usually called italiano gramático or 'grammatical Italian' in Brazil), but is mainly a mix of Venetian dialects influenced by other Gallo-Italian languages as well as local Portuguese.
