Description
THIS IS THE FONT VERSION OF THE FULL ANCIENT HYLIAN ALPHABET:Now before you question how and where...yes I DID reinvent and fully create the missing letters. This is my "full" alphabet version which can be used with the Hylian Language. Call it, if you will, the Goddesses Hylian?
I did my best to make the new characters work well with the preexisting ones, and some are only slight alterations due to their relation to the root characters. There are 52 unique letters, but the basic A-Z can be used for English writing (the short i with one dot over it should be used for most English words).
I'm going to post up more information on how to use this, as well as my other Hylian alphabet in due time, but for now you can just refer to this really crummy hand written chart!
General Information
This is based on the Ancient Hylian from the Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.
The chart for the game version is here: [link]
and the game accurate font can be downloaded here: [link]
This version has additional characters which are needed to work with my fan created Hylian Language, which uses characters which translate to basic roman as well as syllabary letters.
This version of Ancient Hylian can be used in the same way as my more "modern" Hylian.
I have a wallpaper helper for that version here: [link]
And the font for that version can be downloaded here: [link]
My Hylian Language used to be hosted at Hyrule Realm. As I haven't been able to get the site back up due to personal life issues sapping my time, I will eventually be putting the language back online on a new site dedicated solely to the language. In the meantime I plan on getting some information back up here on DA as I can in the near future.
If you have any questions about the language, please send me a note.
For those of you who remember Hyrule Realm, I'm so terribly sorry that I had to take it down! I haven't forgotten, and I will get the language back online for use, it's just a lot of work. I hope you can all understand, and I very much appreciate the continued support. ♥
• I am fully aware of the fact that some of these look similar to Japanese Katakana and Hiragana. Contrary to those of you who want to say they ARE Japanese however, none of these are identical to Japanese kana and the similarities are not intentional. Any further commentary on the similarities are not necessary. Thank you anyway.
Check out the font if you like this! ^_^

Work on memorizing the written alphabet now and learning the language later when I start putting it back online will just be that much easier. ;3

Did you get some kind of language info to translate the letters to English or did you made them all up?

Sarinilli In reply to Reidakk [2012-08-28 21:14:46 +0000 UTC]
Please read the description. This is an adaptation of the alphabet from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. The ones not from the game however I made up.

Actually I did read the description I just don't quite get it since I haven't played Skyward Sword before. The question is which letters did you come up with?

Ooh... if you check the game version font or chart if that's easier you can compare them. Actually, I should put that info in the description. I'll do that now. :3

Soooo if I got this straight you translated the letters according to the information in the game. Meaning there aren't any fake letters right?

That's why I went ahead and posted the chart here, so people can at least write it on things like personal notes and fanart, things like that. So yes, go ahead. It IS free for personal use. :3

...No? Hylian is = the people of Hyrule, alphabet and/or language of Hyrule. It's based on info from the Legend of Zelda games but I like to take it all to a whole new level and have a real, speakable language with vocabulary, grammar, structure, and in some cases slightly varying dialect- the problem? I would love to refer you to the information but I'm still in the process of attempting to explain the grammar in a way that can be understood. I understand it like one would their own native language, so I can use it myself easier than I can write it down for others to learn. I'm getting there, though. ^^

SpanishSteps In reply to Sarinilli [2012-08-28 23:15:36 +0000 UTC]
The characters are very, very, very similar to Japanese and I think that is where people draw the connection. I quite honestly thought it was Japanese from the thumbnail, no offense meant.

The work is very nice. When I was a kid, I loved trying to read signs and things in Ocarina of time. I haven't played SS either and from the comments, I'm happy to see they're developing the language more. It always seemed like a big hole in the story for me. You've got this people, this race of people... from this amazing, vast land. They have their own traditions, histories and language... but so little of the language is seen or heard.
