DE_Adam Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 It's been a long road breaking down the secrets of the Tennobet, and we're delighted to say those working to unravel the Tenno written language came amazingly close. The progress made deciphering over such a short period of time is remarkable. But as more and more of our incredibly artistic community members begin to lean on theoretical primers for personal work it only feels right to share the true breakdown of this once-secret script with you all. To everyone who participated in uncovering the Tennobet, well done. You guys are awesome. -DE_Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neah Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) So... Excalibur IS Hayden Tenno. Or based off him at least. I know its been mentioned before, but its good to have an official confirmation Edited October 30, 2014 by Neah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brimir Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Pretty funny how most letters look like sword slashes/flurries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Letter13 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Just glancing at the numbers, something feels a bit off. Seeing as how the symbols repeat in a sense for 6-9 (as 1~4 but with a hyphen tacked below), would the number 10 be the same as number 5 but with a hyphen added on? Or is it just a 1 and a 0 (assuming that the numeric system functions identically to the decimal system). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Energeist Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) I hope someone can turn this into a text script/code/font so it can be used to type XD Edited October 30, 2014 by Energeist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llyssa Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) Wait, I don't quite understand--there's many different pictures, each described as being "someone's efforts"... is there an official one on that link, and if so, which one is it? EDIT: This is particularly confusing because the various images do not agree with eachother on certain parts.

BenzinNinJa Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) Is the first picture of symbols the official release of the actual alphabet (tennobet, whatever) and the numbers?If so, I think there's a mistake in the first line of the first picture of examples. Based on the first set of symbols, it seems to say "you are the hope aMd future of the Tenno". Based on the explanatory descriptions of the sympons, it reads out as ".eeooh awr dhuhh, hopa amd feeoochoor, awf dhuhh tehno." I haven't gotten any further yet. This is going to be a $#*(@ to learn :D Edited October 30, 2014 by BenzinNinJa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llyssa Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 So does this mean that Dark Sector is confirmed as canon? It has been for a while. Proto armor skin for excal is a direct import of Hayden' Tenno's model from DS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llyssa Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 To those asking, I think it's possible to make a font for this, but it's going to take some fancy kerning to make it function properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, that gets argued as an easter egg a lot, due to it being a timed exclusive. It's a little harder to dispute now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letter13 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 It's not a new language, it's still English, but written with Tennobet. Technically it's not a language, it's a syllabary. It's a set of written symbols which represent consonant/vowel sounds and syllables. You can technically write in any language with it (unless the language does not use consonants/vowels/syllables). If I wanted to, I could write in Spanish using the Tennobet. Or Japanese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
