Before I say anything about this font:






For the love of Hylia, if you see the OLD HT Hylian version uploaded anywhere online, PLEASE direct them here or at least let me know!
I'm tired of seeing that old deprecated version floating around, misrepresented without any reference to my work at all.






Jan 06 2012: I realized after a long long time that there was some naming in the font that was left over from the template! Oops... I fixed this error and updated some internal issues that may have kept the font from working on some machines. Sorry to anyone who may or may not have had issues with this font working properly in the past!






After a lot of thought, I have made one last change to the alphabet and font.
Back when I reworked the alphabet, I changed the n letters, making it impossible to write "lon lon" properly, having opted to map the letter needed to the letter 8. I have switched the n and the 8. I hope everyone else will be pleased with this change, and my apologies go out to anyone who this bothered in the past!

A little about this alphabet:
This is my personal variation on the Hylian Alphabet. It was created in this form for use with my Hylian Language Project, a fully functional fan language based on the Legend of Zelda game series.

The zip file contains the .ttf and a pdf mapping chart for the letters. Please keep the pdf, it tells you how to use the font!


Wallpaper of the alphabet to help you memorize the characters!



Note:
:iconyouareplz::iconallowedplz:
This font is free for personal use. If you plan to use this alphabet in fanart, fan-fiction, tell your friends about it, use it in print work, you get the point... I expect credit.
If you're unsure whether or not I would allow for any specific reason, please contact me beforehand.

Please do not host this font on any site without my direct permission!

Whoops, pressed enter too early. How would you write "hey"? I can't for the life of me figure it out

Well, did you keep the pdf that is packed with the font? It explains how to use the alphabet properly, which characters mean what. Also if you refer to the Hylian Language Project lesson 01 for pronunciation, that really helps with words like that... but, put simply, if you just want to write in english via the Hylian alphabet, just write "hey" in lowercase... if you want to write it "properly" based on pronunciation they you write "hei". Or likewise, if you want to use the syllable letter for "he", you type in "Hi".. capital H is "he". Like I said though, refer to the pdf that came with the font, and the language lessons here: [link]

It's fine! This version, just so you know if it wasn't obvious enough, is a fully reworked alphabet for the Hylian Language Project, so it's a little bit different than what was actually in the game- which is comparable to Japanese. I THINK my Hylian alphabet is the only one that actually works with English, with some quirks. If you want to write x for example, you have to write "ks", because Hylian doesn't have an x. You can check that out in all the help files though. And I might just have to put out a side lesson for how to properly use the font/alphabet for writing in English. It's a little tricky since by Hylian grammatical rules, writing other languages properly means purposely misspelling and altering some words. But then again, isn't that true for any language? heh

Aww, that's what it's for! Just don't forget to keep the pdf and remember it's 52 different characters/letters, not caps and lower case. :3

You might want to add to the description that the font in the games is used not as a latin alphabet but as a way of writing Japanese characters. So basically, memorizing these characters in an alphabetical order will not get you very far, canonically speaking.
