## About "talent" in BIP39

- "talent" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"tale"**, already identify it, because **"tal"** also begins [talk](/bip39-word/talk/).
- The same spelling is in the [French BIP39 wordlist](/french/), but as word #1848 (index 1847), not #1772\. A wallet set to French reads "talent" as **11100110111** instead of **11011101011**, and decodes index 1771 as "sinistre".
- **"tale"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins talento in the [Spanish list](/spanish/) and tale in the [Italian list](/italian/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
- "talent" appears in one of the 24 official English [test vectors](https://github.com/trezor/python-mnemonic/blob/master/vectors.json) of BIP39: vector #17 (word 4 of 18). Every official vector passes the [checksum checker](/bip39-checksum-checker/), and [How BIP39 works](/how-bip39-works/) shows how the entropy turns into such words.
