The Book of Languages - Part I: The Akaviri Pages

Akaviri

Akaviri is the language of a long extinct human race who went by the same name. They are said to have inhabited the legendarily fabled continent of Akavir, far to the east of Tamriel. This now long gone, old civilization is said to have held the ancestry to what would much later become the order of the Blades, an Imperial organization to protect the ruling Emperor. However, it got, in more modern times, disbanded in favor of the more prominent Penitus Oculatus which has taken up the mantle of stalwart protector, notwithstanding the most recent assassination of Emperor Titus Mede II. in 4E201, which effectively discredited them greatly. 

Not much is known about the Akaviri language. There only exist two pages of an Akaviri diary from which we can only deduct a few letters, or glyphs, to indicate as to what their script looked like. What we lack, however, is any sort of grammar or vocabulary. We do know though that it is written from top to bottom and, presumably, based on the scriptures available to us, from right to left. Any other information is purely based on speculation. It is still being discussed as to whether or not Akaviri is actually the same as the Tsaesci language, the tongue of the nefarious, man-eating snake men who devoured the Akaviri, leading to their eventual downfall.

  • Daaaaamn bro that looks so sick.

    • Thank you. :D

  • This is interesting! I'm guessing the 'Akaviri' depicted here is more along the lines of 'a language from Akavir', since it's an entire continent? Tamriellians don't know much about Akavir, which makes it really fun to play with and insert your own stuff.

    • Well, these symbols and letters I have actually pulled from the Akaviri Messenger diary pages from TES IV, so it most definitely is Akaviri.
