Etymology 1

From Middle English talken, talkien, from Old English tealcian (“to talk, chat”), from Proto-Germanic *talk?n? (“to talk, chatter”), frequentative form of Proto-Germanic *tal?n? (“to count, recount, tell”), from Proto-Indo-European *dol-, *del- (“to aim, calculate, adjust, count”), equivalent to tell +? -k. Cognate with Scots talk (“to talk”), Low German taalken (“to talk”). Related also to Danish tale (“to talk, speak”), Swedish tala (“to talk, speak, say, chatter”), Icelandic tala (“to talk”), Old English talian (“to count, calculate, reckon, account, consider, think, esteem, value; argue; tell, relate; impute, assign”). More at tale. Despite the surface similarity, unrelated to Proto-Indo-European *telk?- (“to talk”), which is the source of loquacious.
