A '''language''' is a system for the expression of thoughts, feelings, etc, by the use of spoken sounds or conventional symbols (such as alphabets). As is common in fiction, the usual language used in the [[Final Fantasy series|''Final Fantasy'' series]] reflects that of the audience of the game (i.e. in the Japanese versions, people speak Japanese; in the English versions, they speak English, etc.). However, other languages not usually understood by the main characters (at least initially) also appear. Several games in the series feature both Japanese and English writings in their worlds.

==Appearances==
===''[[Final Fantasy]]''===
The [[Lufenian]] race speaks their own language, which is deciphered by the [[Warriors of Light]] after they bring the [[Rosetta Stone]] to [[Dr. Unne (Final Fantasy)|Dr. Unne]].

===''[[Final Fantasy II]]''===
The [[Beavers]] have their own language. Because [[Guy]] was raised in the wilderness, he speaks Beaver.

===''[[Final Fantasy V]]''===
It is said that animals, including [[chocobo]]s, [[wind drake]]s and [[Moogle (race)|moogles]], all have their own languages. [[Krile Mayer Baldesion (Final Fantasy V)|Krile Mayer Baldesion]] possesses the unique ability to understand these animal speeches.

===''[[Final Fantasy VII]]''===
The [[Cetra]] have a unique writing system. Almost nothing is known about it, but it seems primarily pictographic rather than alphabetical. In the [[City of the Ancients]], [[Geisel Bugenhagen]] mentions there is writing on the altar, but says he cannot read it because he is not a Cetra. The Cetra writing is more elaborate in [[Final Fantasy VII remake project|''Final Fantasy VII'' remake project]], shown in some of [[Aerith Gainsborough (VII Rebirth party member)|Aerith's]] abilities and in the [[Temple of the Ancients]].

Unknown runes appear along the summoning crests in ''[[Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-]]''.

The world features both English and Japanese text on signs, with the greatest wealth of Japanese signs being found in [[Wutai Village|Wutai]], English at the [[Gold Saucer]], and mix of both in the [[Midgar Slums]]. English as a spoken language is specifically referenced when [[President Shinra]] labels an escape route "L" for "Loser" in ''[[On the Way to a Smile]]'' "Episode: Shinra".<!--even in the original Japanese text-->

In the Japanese script, most characters names are written phonetically<!--katakana--> (including "Kisaragi"). The two exceptions are "Shinra" and "[[Professor Hojo|Hojo]]" that are written in kanji.

===''[[Final Fantasy IX]]''===
[[File:Terran Script FFIX Art.jpg|right|100px]]
The language of [[Terra (Final Fantasy IX)|Terra]], with its unique script, appears in locations of Terran origin, such as [[Oeilvert]] {{Show image|OelivertPlanetarium.png}}, the [[Shimmering Island]] portal {{Show image|Shimmering Island.JPG}}, on [[Kuja]]'s teleportation spell {{Show image|Kuja teleports the party from Necron from FFIX Remastered.png}}, and on some of [[Zidane (Final Fantasy IX party member)|Zidane's]] [[Dyne (command)|Dyne]] skills {{Show image|FFIX Scoop Art.png}}. Of the party members, only [[Zidane Tribal|Zidane]] can decipher it.

===''[[Final Fantasy X]]'' and ''[[Final Fantasy X-2]]''===
[[File:Spiran alphabet.png|thumb|Spiran alphabet.]]
The world of [[Spira]] uses three different alphabets, which work like "codes" for the real world Latin alphabet. Most signs are in Spiran alphabet, as is the writing in [[blitzball]] teams' logos, and the text ("nog") on [[Auron]]'s keg. [[Tidus]] also has weapons with the text "Guardian" inscribed on them in Spiran script. The game backgrounds contain a fair share of writing, if one is willing to decipher their meaning. For example, right at the start of the game Tidus ends up in the ruins of [[Baaj]] temple, where the floors and walls have numerous inscriptions of words such as "Semour"[sic], "Jyscal Guado", "Fire", "Flower" and "Guadosalam".

[[Cactuar (creature)|Cactuar]]s also have their own language with [[Benzo]] being the only human who knows that language.

====Yevon====
<!--Information on the symbols of Yevon are from this brilliant guide here: http://www.squidoo.com/final-fantasy-x-symbols-glyphs -->
[[File:Yevon alphabet.png|thumb|Yevon alphabet.]]
The Yevon script is related directly to [[Yu Yevon]] and the faith of [[Yevon]]. Examples can be seen in the temples, Bevelle and [[inside Sin]]. Its appearance is based on the Siddham Script used in Shingon Buddhism. Some of the symbols of the Yevon script alphabet have special meanings. A and Z represent Yevon and [[Sin (Final Fantasy X)|Sin]] and appear all over the game, sometimes paired, as on the {{foot|The End screen|[[File:Final Fantasy X The End.jpg|250x250px]]}}. A and Z being the beginning and the end of the alphabet thus symbolize the beginning and end of all things. On the {{foot|Spiran map|[[File:FFXMAPs.jpg|250x250px]]}} A representing Yevon is at the top, and Z representing Sin is at the bottom. The "A" sound is a central point of meditation for Shingon Buddhists, and the same sound in the Yevon script doubles as the glyph for Yevon itself.

Other symbols exist that are associated with a particular [[Aeon (Final Fantasy X)|aeon]]. The symbol for [[Valefor (Final Fantasy X)|Valefor]] and [[Besaid Temple]] is annotated with the kanji for nothing {{j|無|mu}}. Emptiness, ''mu'', is a Zen Buddhist concept expressing total negation of the self, selflessness, innocence and purity of soul. These are traits a [[Summoner (Final Fantasy X)|summoner]] must achieve to succeed in defeating Sin. Buddhist concept of nothingness may also be associated with the element of air. Valefor is a flying aeon whose main attack is non-elemental and delays the opponent's turn, traits that also fit this theme.

The symbol for [[Ifrit (Final Fantasy X)|Ifrit]] and [[Kilika Temple]] is annotated with the kanji for flame {{j|炎|honoo}}. Sandy of the [[Magus Sisters]] also has a flame glyph on her summoning symbol. The symbol for [[Ixion (Final Fantasy X)|Ixion]] and [[Djose Temple]] is annotated with the kanji for thunder {{j|雷|kaminari}}. Mindy of the Magus Sisters also has a lightning glyph on her summoning symbol. The symbol for [[Shiva (Final Fantasy X)|Shiva]] and [[Macalania Temple]] is annotated with the kanji for ice {{j|氷|koori}}. The symbol for [[Bahamut (Final Fantasy X)|Bahamut]] and Bevelle is annotated with the kanji for light {{j|光|hikari}}. The [[Anima (summon)|Anima]] and [[Baaj]] symbol is annotated with the kanji for darkness {{j|闇|yami}}. The symbol for Cindy of Magus Sisters and the [[Remiem Temple]] is annotated with the kanji symbol for water {{j|水|mizu}}.

The elemental symbols also appear in [[Seymour Guado|Seymour's]] elemental reels in his various boss forms.

The Yevon glyphs marked with the kanji for the "Four Winds," i.e. directions, appear on the mandala activated by glyph spheres in the [[Cloister of Trials (Final Fantasy X)|Cloister of Trials]] and the directional platforms in the [[Via Purifico]], in the [[Cavern of the Stolen Fayth]], and on [[Mt. Gagazet]].

Officials of the Yevon Temples wear a band down the front of their robes with six special glyphs. The six signs also appear on Yevon tapestries, the sleeves of Seymour's [[wedding]] suit, and the map of Spira.

====Al Bhed====
[[File:Al Bhed Script.jpg|thumb|Al Bhed alphabet.]]
{{Main|Al Bhed}}
Al Bhed speak their own language. Working like a substitution cipher (a language system replacing certain letters with others), it shares the same syntax and grammar of English in the English version. In the Japanese version it follows much the same pattern except in using the Japanese ''romaji'' alphabet instead to speak and translate the language. It uses its own alphabet.

Writer [[Kazushige Nojima]] wanted the Al Bhed language to have a proper linguistic system, and read up on ciphers. In the end, the language became a simplistic substitution cipher so it would fit with the translation mechanics, but the hidden meaning in the lyrics of the "[[Hymn of the Fayth (song)|Hymn of the Fayth]]" song is a leftover from his initial plans.<ref name=frontline2>{{ref|year=2021|month=07|day=28|entry=How kamikaze pilots inspired FFX – Final Fantasy X 20th Anniversary Developer Interview (Part 2/4)|url=https://www.frontlinejp.net/2021/07/28/how-kamikaze-pilots-inspired-ffx-final-fantasy-x-20th-anniversary-developer-interview-part-2-4/|title=Frontline Gaming JP|access-date=1 August 2021}}</ref>

===''[[Final Fantasy XII]]''===
[[File:FFXII Ivalice Alphabet.gif|thumb|left|Ivalician script.]]
The common language that reflects the player's language has its own alphabet, called "Ivalician script". Each region has its own accent. Additionally, several other languages, not used by the [[Human|humes]], are also alluded to. The denizens of the [[Bhujerba|Skycity of Bhujerba]] have unique words among the humes.

The Ivalician script can be seen written on the boards in aerodromes, the icon that denotes [[Final Fantasy XII shops|shops]] {{Show image|Estersand shop from FFXII TZA.png}}, [[Gurdy (Final Fantasy XII)|Gurdy]]'s [[chocobo (Final Fantasy XII)|chocobo]] stable signs, the tavern menu in Sandsea bar in [[Rabanastre (Final Fantasy XII)|Royal City of Rabanastre]], banners in [[Lowtown]] {{Show image|Lowtown-Banner-FFXII-TZA.jpg}}, and in summon glyphs that appear on the ground and air when an [[Esper (Final Fantasy XII)|Esper]] is summoned or uses a special attack, among other places.

===''[[Fabula Nova Crystallis: Final Fantasy]]''===
{{Quote|The language of the human race has changed little since ancient times. Records show that the tongue spoken by the people of Paddra almost a thousand years ago is functionally identical to that used by the present citizens of Academia. Although the language is much the same, it seems strange that the alphabets of Gran Pulse and Cocoon should vary so widely. Perhaps this variation stems from the fact that human language was not a naturally occurring phenomenon, but a tool given to us by the fal'Cie.|Academy Datafile, ''Final Fantasy XIII-2''}}
====Cocoon and Pulse writing====
The scripts used by the civilizations of both [[Cocoon (Final Fantasy XIII)|Cocoon]] and [[Gran Pulse]] are stylized versions of their Latin counterparts. Most of the letters and numerals can be deciphered easily.

On Cocoon, the writing can be seen on numerous billboards, signs and buildings. In ''[[Final Fantasy XIII-2]],'' the Cocoon writing is present in the town of [[New Bodhum]], such as on a sign that reads "Serah's Room".

The Pulse writing is rarer, but is present on [[Lightning (Final Fantasy XIII)|Lightning]]'s and [[Oerba Yun Fang|Fang]]'s default weapons, and on old signs in [[Gran Pulse]], as well as in the recording [[Oerba Dia Vanille|Vanille]] reads to the party in [[Oerba]]. Words written in Pulse writing are is also seen in the scene where the party is branded [[l'Cie]], although these don't form any intelligible message, but merely spell words like "variable" and "multiplication".

In ''[[Final Fantasy Type-0]]'', Pulse writing is seen on the world map of [[Orience]]. In an early ''[[Final Fantasy Versus XIII]]'' trailer, writing similar to the Pulse writing appears around a crest behind [[Stella Nox Fleuret]] {{foot|when she summons her rapier|[[File:Stella_(Versus).jpg|250x250px]]}}.

====Etro script====
[[File:Odin-script.jpg|right|thumb|Script on [[Odin (Final Fantasy XIII)|Odin]].]]
Etro script is inscribed on the [[Eidolon (Final Fantasy XIII)|Eidolons]] in ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]''. Like the other two scripts, it is reasonably easy to decipher some of it. Its origin is linked to the Goddess [[Etro]]. The writing can be seen on the Eidolons' bodies, as well on the summoning symbols that appear on the ground or air when a character calls forth their Eidolon. The Eidolons' script is in Latin.

E.g. the Latin writing on the symbol that emerges from the ground when Lightning summons [[Odin (Final Fantasy XIII)|Odin]] reads:
:Etro praedicatus, tonitrus tuum adventum annuntiet. Eveni, disparator factorum falsorunt.
:''By grace of Etro, let thunder herald your arrival. Come forth, sunderer of falsehood.''

:Nomen in sanguine et pactum in veritate est. Odin et suum coniunctum eternum et inexorabilium se leventur.
:''A name in blood, a pact of truth. Odin shall rise his bond eternal and unyielding.''

In ''Final Fantasy XIII-2'', the Etro script is seen on the blades of [[Serah Farron|Serah's]] weapon, the symbol on both her dress and Lightning's shield, as well as in the [[Paradox (Final Fantasy XIII-2)|paradox]] effect. Writing in Etro script is also on [[Noel Kreiss|Noel's]] dagger and the back of his shirt, as well as [[Caius Ballad|Caius's]] armor. When a [[Time Gate]] is activated, writing in Etro script is seen circling the gate. Etro's script is also seen [[:File:New bodhum meteor impact site.jpg|around the minimap]] when traversing on the field, and around the [[:File:7336Lightning 03.jpg|introductory banners for DLC battles]] in the [[Coliseum (Final Fantasy XIII-2)|Coliseum]]. Writing similar to Etro's script appear in the Hands of Time [[Temporal Rift]] puzzles.

E.g.: the Latin writing on Serah's weapon reads:
:Longe Lateque Aetatum Lumen Illustrans Verum.
:''Light ages far and wide, illustrating the truth.''

The playing cards of the card games in [[Serendipity (Final Fantasy XIII-2)|Serendipity]] (only available in [[Sazh's Story: Heads or Tails?]]) depict Etro. The writing on the card is Etro's script, and says "Tears falling for her fallen mother. The Veiled Goddess", referring to Mwynn.<!--the writing deciphered by thechaosofcrane here: https://lokton.tumblr.com/post/171433591298/thechaosofcrane-lokton-at-one-point-the-->

In ''[[Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII]]'', Etro script acts as the language of the [[Children of Etro]], a sect worshiping the goddess in defiance of the [[Order of Salvation]], the chief faith in honor of [[Bhunivelze (character)|Bhunivelze]]. A piece of readable Etro script is seen during the cutscene when Lightning arrives in [[Luxerion]]: writing appears on the beneath the station clock reading "The Liberator shall suffer death at the hands of the Dark Hunter". This same writing is also seen in Noel's lair in the [[Luxerion#The Warren|Warren]]. In the English localization, the writing remains the same despite the alteration of the terms in dialogue ("Liberator" being "[[Savior (Lightning Returns)|Savior]]" and "Dark Hunter" to "Shadow Hunter").

Curiously, the world of [[Nova Chrysalia]] uses neither Cocoon or Gran Pulse script, instead using regular English writing. This may be because the signs have more of an utility in guiding the player, rather than just being a background element, so they have been made easy to read.

The [[playing card]]s that appear as background elements in ''[[Final Fantasy XV]]'' have their numbers in Etro script. This is because they are reused assets from the [[Serendipity (Final Fantasy XIII-2)|Serendipity]] card games from ''Final Fantasy XIII-2''.

===''[[Final Fantasy XIV]]''===
{{Main|Eorzean typeface}}
[[File:FFXIV Eorzea Alphabet.jpg|250px|thumb|Eorzean writing.]]
[[Eorzea]] has its own script, corresponding directly to, and with many letters resembling the Latin alphabet. It appears most notably on maps and inscribed in some pieces of equipment such as the Astaroth Cane.

Unique languages are spoken by various factions such as the [[Ascian]]s, the [[Dravanian Horde|Dravanians]] ([[Dragonspeak]]), the [[Il Mheg|fae folk]], and the [[Beastmen|beast tribes]], who can also speak the common tongue. Those with the [[Echo (Final Fantasy XIV)|Echo]] can understand these languages as they are spoken to them.

In ''[[Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker]]'', the [[Ea]] seem to have ther own writing system {{Show image|FFXIV EaWriting Screenshot.png}}.

In [[Tural]], the diversity of different cultures holds many languages. To ease up the communication, the nation of Tuliyollal created one common language, Turali, in similar manner of the common tongue spoken in the Three Continents.{{clear}}

===''[[Final Fantasy XV]]''===
[[File:Final Fantasy XV (Naga Boss Fight) How To Beat Naga-0|thumb|right|335px|A speaking daemon in the Fociaugh Hollow.]]
The world of [[Eos (Final Fantasy XV)|Eos]] appears to use a language understood by all nations and peoples, though class and region lends different accents. However, signage language around Eos differs per region: [[Insomnia]] has a lot of Japanese, [[Lucis|Lucian]] outlands use a lot of English, [[Altissia]] and [[Cartanica]] use some Italian, [[Tenebrae (Final Fantasy XV)|Tenebrae]] some French and [[Gralea]] some Latin. This is evident in the [[lodging]]s' names, the one in Cartanica called Vagoni Albergo di Cartanica (Wagon Hotel of Cartanica), the Tenebraen one being called Tenerae Roues du Repos (Wheels of Rest) and the ones in Gralea called Dormitorium Militum (military dorm).

There is a [[daemon (Final Fantasy XV)|daemon]] [[Naga (Final Fantasy XV)|naga]] in the [[Fociaugh Hollow]] whose speech is inscrutable without the subtitles on, though the party seems to understand the gist of what it is saying. However, the party encounters other speaking daemons in Chapter 13 who converse legibly.

[[File:Steyliff Grove Menace wall symbols from FFXV.png|thumb|left]]
[[Solheim]] is an ancient civilization in Eos's past associated with symbology characterized by various interspersed circles and dots seen on the walls of ancient Solheimian ruins, their warp pads and, curiously, the [[Menace Beneath Lucis|sealed doors.]] Whether this is part of a writing system is unknown.

In the [[Close Encounter of the Terra Kind]] event, the [[Hiso Alien]]s speak a language foreign to Noctis, him only hearing it as "Hiso Hiso". Their speech is translated in subtitles and [[Sarah (Terra World)|Sarah]] can understand it without trouble, telling Noctis the gist of what the aliens are saying.

The [[Astral]]s speak a language only understood by those touched by the gods.<ref name=media>{{Refwebsite| page url = https://medium.com/@mgarsf/final-fantasy-xv-scenario-ultimania-translation-project-mythos-1e377076bce0| page name = Final Fantasy XV Scenario Ultimania Translation Project — Mythos| site url = https://medium.com/@mgarsf| site name = Medium| access time = 20180621083951}}</ref> The [[Oracle (Final Fantasy XV)|Oracles]] had been gifted the ability to commune with the gods in antiquity, and can use the power to make mankind's wish known to the gods. The gods rarely appear in the mortal realm, but instead send forth [[Messenger]]s.

[[File:Leviathan and Luna.jpg|thumb|Lunafreya, the Oracle, speaks with the Astral goddess Leviathan.]]
When [[Noctis Lucis Caelum|Prince Noctis]] first hallucinates visions of [[Titan (Final Fantasy XV)|Titan]], he cannot understand the voice in his head. He confronts Titan at the [[Disc of Cauthess]], and through a vision learns [[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]], the Oracle, wants him to forge covenants with the Astrals and thus they are calling to him. [[Shiva (Final Fantasy XV)|Gentiana]], a Messenger of the Astrals, guides him on his task. Lunafreya summons [[Leviathan (Final Fantasy XV)|Leviathan]] at [[Altissia]] and converses with her, but the sea goddess at first rejects a covenant with Noctis. She is killed during Leviathan's Revelation, and mankind is left without means to speak directly to the gods. When Noctis meets [[Bahamut (Final Fantasy XV)|Bahamut]] he lands upon his palm, and when the god talks to him Noctis understands. Noctis perishes upon fulfilling the [[prophecy]] of the [[True King]].

In the 1.00 version of the game, Bahamut spoke in the Astral language, but this was changed into the human language in the [[Final Fantasy XV patches|patch 1.03]]; the original scene would not make sense if the player had no subtitles on. When Noctis originally met [[Shiva (Final Fantasy XV)|Shiva]], she did not speak, but a scene was added in a patch that has Shiva tell Noctis the story of the [[War of the Astrals]], and she uses the human language. In patch 1.21, Shiva's message to [[Ifrit (Final Fantasy XV)|Ifrit]]—originally in the Astral language—was changed into the human language as well. This makes Bahamut and Shiva the only Astrals who are heard speaking the human language. In the original version, it was implied Noctis now understood the Astral language, as he translated what she said to the others. In ''[[Final Fantasy XV: Comrades]]'', Bahamut speaks to the [[Kingsglaive (group)|Glaives]] in the human language as well.

In ''[[Final Fantasy XV: Episode Ardyn]]'', Ifrit speaks to Ardyn in the Hexatheon language before being daemonified. In ''[[Final Fantasy XV -The Dawn of the Future-]]'', Ardyn is explained as gaining the knowledge on the gods' tongue due to having glimpsed into Ifrit's psyche during their encounter.<ref>{{Refwebsite| page url = https://higharollakockamamie.tumblr.com/post/185220618692/dawn-of-the-future-page-54-55| page name = Dawn of the Future Page 54-55| site url = https://higharollakockamamie.tumblr.com| site name = higharollakockamamie @tumblr| access time = 16:17, June 15, 2019 (UTC)}}</ref>

===''[[Final Fantasy XVI]]''===
The people of [[Valisthea]] have their own writing system, known as "Valisthean alphabet"{{cite|FFXVI|[[Rune Blade (Final Fantasy XVI)|Rune Blade]] flavor text|name=rune}}, though majority of the populace is illiterate. Writing is seen on various places, such as on [[notorious mark]] bills and in the corner of the screen when they appear, and on books and tavern menus. In [[Missives]], each correspondent's signature is written on the in-lore script. Long before the Valisthean alphabet became commonplace, the tribes across the Twins used a form of lettering now known as "runes". Some religious sects believe that the symbols hold power unlockable when used in a specific order.<ref name=rune/>

Valisthea appears to communicate on the same language regardless of nation; though the [[Iron Kingdom]] has its unique tongue, the Haearanni tongue, [[Jill Warrick]] and others still communicate with the Crusaders in the common language. Beastmen speak their own languages, such as the goblins.{{cite|FFXVI|[[Bestiary (Final Fantasy XVI)#Goblins|The Bestiary "Goblins"]]}} The [[Waloed]]er orcs' named abilities use real-world Welsh for naming.

===''[[Final Fantasy Tactics]]''===
The common language uses a variant of the Ivalician script as in ''Final Fantasy XII''. In addition, the [[Scriptures of Germonique]] is written in an ancient language called the Ikoku language, presumably used in [[Ajora Glabados|Ajora's]] era. Since the game did not have an Ultimania, this language went unnoticed for years until a fan deciphered it on his own (see [http://web.archive.org/web/20120722045843/http://www.oocities.org/tuffydabubba/ this archived link]).

===''[[Final Fantasy Type-0]]''===
Though most of [[Orience]] speaks one language, [[Kingdom of Concordia|Concordians]] command wyverns in Soryusian. While the common language of Orience boasts a superior vocabulary and ease of expression, Soryusian is an intentionally simple language. By limiting the number of phrases, dragoniers and other Concordians can communicate orders to dragons with little room for misunderstandings.

===''[[Final Fantasy Legend III]]''===
The [[WaterHag (Legend III)|WaterHag]] and [[Dwelg]] have their own language, and if the player attempt to talk to them. They will attack the party. The only way to understand their language is for the player to use the Morph spell and become a WaterHag or Dwelg.

===''[[Vagrant Story]]''===
A [[Kiltia|Kildean]] script is featured as an ancient script from [[Müllenkamp]]'s era.
