Here's a quick Al Bhed lesson for you.
Code:English > Al Bhed ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ YPLTAVKREZGMSHUBXNCDIJQOWSome key words such as proper nouns and others do not translate:Code:Al > Bhed ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ EPSTIWKNUVGCLRYBXHMDOFQAJ
EXAMPLES:
Besaid Island
Tidus
fiend
While some sites will give you a "pronunciation", these rules tend to follow rules from the Japanese > Al Bhed cipher.
Example:
Tu oui cbayg Al Bhed?
(Do you speak Al Bhed?)
How it sounds when used in the game:
Tu wee k'BAYG Al Bhed?
How some sites may instruct you to pronounce it:
TAY-oo oh-oo-ee ku-BAY-ah-HAY-gay Al Bhed?
Which ever you prefer to use is fine. The speech in the game doesn't use the second example, rather sticking to the first. I choose to use the first also.
Some ways you may practice would be to obviously first memorize the cipher, that way you know how to translate all words. But, don't try to learn the cipher alone. Eventually try to learn the words as words just like if you were to study another language. Don't think of the word "example" as "E-X-A-M-P-L-E" goes to "A-Q-Y-S-B-M-A", try to think of it as the the word "aqysbma".
That's all for now. Hope that helps! Feel free to PM me with question or if you'd like to throw some Al Bhed around.![]()
