Etymology: "Talkyng" is a Middle English spelling of "talking," the present participle of "talk," so it names the act of speaking with others. The verb "talk" entered English in the Middle English period, probably from a Low German or Dutch source, and its "-ing" ending is the ordinary suffix that turns a verb into a participle or noun.
