Al Bhed (Language)
From Final Fantasy - Wiki on Neoseeker
The Al Bhed language is a special language from Final Fantasy X spoken by the Al Bhed. The language largly varies from the English spoken by many of the other races in Spira. However, it isn't a language in the true definition of the word. The Al Bhed language is in reality a cypher. It is only considered a language, because the Japanese version of the game called it the 'Aru Bedo go', which translates to 'Al Bhed language'.
Al Bhed Primers
Throughout the land of Spira, the party finds Al Bhed Primers, which help to uncover the mystery of the languages. Below is a list of the Primers, the information they reveal, and their location:
| Volume | Al Bhed --> English | Location |
|---|---|---|
| I | Y-->A | Near the Crane in the Back of the Al Bhed Ship |
| II | P-->B | Next to the counter in the Crusaders Tent in Besaid |
| III | L-->C | Bikanel Island, tent by the oasis |
| IV | T-->D | Counter of the pub in Kilika |
| V | A-->E | The Boat headed toward Luca, in the wheelhouse |
| VI | V-->F | Luca Stadium, chest in the opposite locker room |
| VII | K-->G | Luca Sphere Theater |
| VIII | R-->H | Highroad Shop, received from Rin |
| IX | E-->I | North Part of Mi'ihen Highroad |
| X | Z-->J | Mushroom Rock Road |
| XI | G-->K | Djose Highroad |
| XII | M-->L | Moonflow; by the shoopuf |
| XIII | S-->M | House in Guadosalam |
| XIV | H-->N | Inn at the Thunder Plains |
| XV | U-->O | Road in Macalania |
| XVI | B-->P | Outside the Al Bhed shop near Macalania |
| XVII | X-->Q | Sanubia Desert |
| XVIII | N-->R | Top Right of Sanubia Desert Central |
| XIX | C-->S | To the West near the Al Bhed Home |
| XX | D-->T | In the Al Bhed Home |
| XXI | I-->U | In the Al Bhed Home in a Hallway |
| XXII | J-->V | In the Bevelle Temple; After the wedding |
| XXIII | F-->W | Calm Lands, bottom left corner |
| XXIV | Q-->X | At Remiem Temple |
| XXV | O-->Y | Cavern of Stolen Fayth, up, center, and left |
| XXVI | W-->Z | Omega Ruins |
The above only applies to the releases outside of Japan. The locations are identical to the Japanese. The tricky thing about the Japanese version of the Al Bhed is that it translates from Katakana (the Al Bhed) to Hiragana (the Spiran/English).
