Inazuman Script/Texts
Last updated 2024-12-13
OverviewTexts
Due to the nature of the Inazuman Language, vowels are usually omitted and even voicing in some cases. In addition, some letters, especially L, Q, V, and X seem to be used in place of other letters with inconsistent values across texts. The Inazuman Language also does not use spaces or capitalization, and punctuation is limited to only a handful of texts. Since some of these texts will be reliant on educated guesses from context for interpretation, the raw deciphered text will be presented alongside an interpreted version, annotated for legibility. Note that most of the text in the Inazuman Language do not match the official Japanese transcriptions, if any exist.
For texts with unclear letters, the deciphered text includes educated guesses based on clearly distinguishable letters, the general shapes of unclear letters, and context.
