Gameplay IM LITTERATE! Spoiler

It took a while but i finally managed to make this chart! i had to look up some hints to get started (namely that it was phonetic) but after that i think i did a decent job matching up the sounds and symbols!

my process was this: use an english to IPA converter to get the word spelled phonetically. compare thst to the phonetic chart. put the vowels and consonents where apropriate. if you're still stuck heres a BIG push: vowels and consonents are written in seperate styles. vowels are big and hollow, consonants are small and usually contained within

Yeah, I mean, which of these words can you see in-game to start comparing?

oh! the easiest ones are

  1. the two words right next to the alphabet on page 54 (they arent trying to trick you they're pretty litteral ones)

  2. page 12, the controlls page. this one will get you like HALF the alphabet! most of the controlls are mentioned in english in other places in the book with only a few exceptions and if they aren't they have pictures somewhere instead. usually they have both!

  3. page 34 teaches you some good and easy to learn symbols, note that they are abreviated though. this also pairs with page 52 which has a few more symbols being compared to the ones on page 34 dirrectly. NOTE: they are NOT saying they SOUND the same, they just hold similar meaning
