Boidoh Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 I used to be able to read it as fluently as English. Although I'm not quite as good as I used to be, I'm still extremely good at deciphering it. As of now, I can read words spelled in the Matoran alphabet like it's nobodies business. But still not as good as I used to. I'm faster at writing than reading. I read that as "Know my power" in about 6 seconds. However, I could have wrote that in 3 seconds...

Jacks Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Dang it, I always write the Y backwards... anyway, I used to have it memorized so thoroughly that I could read and write it as quickly and fluently as regular english. This was around 2005/6 -- by '09 I started slipping and now I have to concentrate a little bit harder to decipher it Quote ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- Rate The Song Above You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuurai Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I accidentally memorized it when it first came out and have always been able to read and write it very fluently Quote "It's all a trick, you see. They want me to pretend to betray them. They want you to concentrate your forces here against an attack that won't come. But I decided: Why pretend to betray them when actually doing it would be so much more fun?"— Vezon to Tridax, Destiny War Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toatapio Nuva Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Extremely well. During the early years of Bionicle the alphabet was engraved in my mind for good and I haven't forgotten it since. I know all the symbols by heart, but I still read them slower than normal text. However, I haven't needed actual translation for years.

The Hip Historian Iaredios Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 While I can't read it as fast as regular words, I can usually translate the letters fairly quickly, as most of the letters in the Matoran Alphabet are very similar to what English letter they represent... A= D= L= T= So if you just understand how they transformed the letters into the circle-line-thing-shapes, then it's not that hard to figure out.Basically this. And while I can read it with ease, writing it out is sometimes hard for me.

toa kopaka4372 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I'm able to write it pretty much as quickly as I can write the two languages I know, bar a few select letters that might make me pause for an extra second. Same goes for reading, though I do think I'm faster at writing it than reading it, somehow.

Tattorack Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) Well, for one, it isn't a second language.Its just simply whatever language you're used to with different glyphs. I know it between quite well to extremely well.There are only one or two letters that I'm not all too sure of, but otherwise I can just read it.

Sumiki Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Somewhere between "a couple of letters" and "quite well," but closer to the former so I went with that. I know enough to kind-of read things, but there are enough letters that screw me up that I can't fully read in it.

Taka Nuvia Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 A few letters, as in the most obvious ones (apart from 'O', that is.) since I haven't used it for ages...might actually re-learn it at some point, though, if I have an hour to spare... if I find that chart from the old Bionicle website again, which has to be somewhere on my computer... :/ Quote My art collection topic - updated!

user-402520536 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I have the matoran alphabet as one of my fonts in Word. I can read and write it without reference, although I struggle on some of the weirder letters.Where'd you download it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pomegranate Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Only phrase I need to know is Last time I knew the alphabet really well was probably sometime in the early to mid 2000s.

It's kind of a pain to write, but it's convenient when you have it as a typeface. Love isn't canon. Also to everybody else that doesn't know, besides the extra letters seen on BS01, there are TWO extra letters for some other language, and ONE different variation of the A with the little circle on top.
