Translating Thedas: A List of Thedas Languages From Veilguard and Links to Decoding
This has been a long time in the works and I'm so glad to finally have this posted. Some talented people on discord and Bluesky have been doing some HARD work and decoding the languages in both Veilguard and the series in general. While I've working on cleaning up the scripts where I could, a lot of credit for this work belongs to:
Blishtar on Bluesky
Kiranox on Bluesky
Ginkys on Bluesky
@calwyne
@vabonesyart
Ghil Dirthalen on Bluesky
Pundromeda on Bluesky
Jay on Bluesky
Bomble
Languages they've managed to decode + fonts! If you want to check out the entire thread posted by Ghil Dirthalen (Caitie) here is the Bluesky link!
Here is the link to the script pdf that they have shared!
Some of these alphabets are incomplete! But they may be updated in the future. To which I will make sure to do so then! There will be additional posts sharing all of the things that have been translated.
With all that said! Here are the alphabets!
Ancient Elven/Elven
A note about this that Caitie mentions, while the alphabet works for datv and there is some cross correlation with dai elven script, it seems that dai has some extra rules. It is unclear if the dai script is still canon. Eitherway Caitie and the others have made a font! Link below.
Elven Font datv + dai | Bluesky Thread Link
Complete Elven Alphabet from datv, with notes on the difference from dai elven script, where it used a character to indicate when a letter was doubled underneath. datv elven does not share this trait.
Ancient Tevene/Tevene
The script for ancient tevene and modern tevene are the same as far as we can tell. I am uncertain if like elven and dwarven if its changed from dai.
Tevene script, left is the collection from in-game images, right I cleaned up to make it a little easier to read.
