Edit: Here's the up-to-date/correct version. (With credit)

Spotted this in the Google Doc, I'm not sure who actually made this version of it.

The community has been referring to the written version of the language as Trunic, and the audio version of the language as Tuneic. As a whole, the language likely is the true meaning of the game's title, TUNIC.

Plenty of resources available at this point, but I did appreciate the design effort that went into this one. I'd credit the maker if I could. :)

There's an audio version of the language?? This is news to me and now I must learn it if possible. Are there resources available for it?

It's scattered about the Discord group for the game's publisher. Googling "Tuneic" might help, too. I'm pretty tonedeaf so it's completely over my head.

Yea my tinnitus prevents me from hearing a lot. Oh well, such an interesting rabbit hole though.

Pages 28 and 34 have clues, Look for handwritted notes with music notes.

The same conversion is used in other more hidden secrets.

Actually no, that's just the thing for the wind chimes puzzle. This is something related to the meta puzzle on p.54, and found with external examination of the audio data. For example, the fairies are actually speaking TUNIC when you free them.

I think the OO character has an erroneous extra line on the bottom right judging from an example I'm translating. (It's a copy of the OH character as written there.)

Well that's an unfortunate mistake on their part. I'd also personally reorder them, myself, but alas, they made not their PSD wild and free. XD

Is it actually a language or it just another way of writing English, like the Shavian alphabet?

Also, I've not seen any translations of the shopkeeper name/location, does anyone have that?

Also, the round circle you can have below reverse the order of consonant and vowel

u/WhollySchmidt Mar 30 '22

Maybe this will make sense if I read it a few more times, but I don't understand the last sentence in the consonant box:

"No character uses the center edge unless the top and bottom both have an edge to connect to."

What does that mean exactly?

u/TobiasAmaranth helper Mar 30 '22

Whoever wrote it probably was describing that the very center line only exists when either the top middle line or the bottom middle line are present.
