Well it may be a bit out of topic but... it is possible to learn the yoto language??
i mean i know perfectly its totally fictional, but cmon...

when the game TALES OF ETERNIA was released on the PSX, a very old game indeed...
who knows how, but someone made a chart with wich you could write the melnics language
and it was really clear to understand...

NOW speaking of the yoto language i think letters of that language are never displayed in any
picture or cg on the game BUT whe know some of the words that are mentioned when yuuto first
arrives in phantasmagoria, he doesnt understand the language remember??

AND now the question is... with the little words that are displayed on chapter 1 is it possible to
make a chart to learn the language even partially?? only the pronunciation beacause letters never
show so well never know how to writte it...

SO IS IT POSSIBLE??

I think most people would rather consider translating Japanese...And the people who CAN do Japanese, are probably busy enjoying/working the benefits of being able to translate Japanese >=p.

This is based on Seinarukana, as I didn't play Aselia with AGTH, but I think it's the same.
Yoto language is Japanese, just the way you pronounce it is different, and it uses some weird-ass font.
If you hook the Yoto lines with AGTH, it'll revert to Japanese font and you can translate it normally.
(Well, if you read HxH, it's the same method for the writings in that manga)
This is not some complicated made-up language like Na'vi or Hymn language or whatever, just simple word to word translation.

That's not actually true for Seinarukana either, only the part that it uses a weird font and the actual language there is in hiragana/katakana - but it's not Japanese. In EnA there is no weird font, it is simply written in katakana.

Having said that, at a glance at least they do seem consistent in their use of words so building a dictionary should be possible (they most certainly had one when writing it).
