And not only have they come up with a written language - in theory, at least - you could actually speak it.

THE KNIGHT HOLLOW KNIGHT HOW TO

Image credit: Anand_Gĭeemed The Hallowscript, the fans designed a language almost completely from scratch - complete with sets of rules on how to write it. Reddit users Anand_G, The_Dialog_Box and ThePawnOfOthers (along with a team of Hollow Knight enthusiasts) took it upon themselves to draw up an entire alphabet inspired by the game's designs. A lore tablet from Greenpath on the left, and Fungal Wastes on the right. These lore tablets can be found all over Hallownest, and their designs can vary greatly from location to location, indicating different dialects for different regions.īut for some Hollow Knight fans, the gibberish just wasn't enough. There are hints at written language in Hollow Knight as well, in the form of glowing lore tablets. The Dung Defender and his proud guffaws tell us he was a bold and eccentric knight, whereas the Seer's odd chanting paints her as a spiritual figure, if not a bit of a bizarre one. These seemingly random sounds are well-designed, characterful expressions which help to provide the player with an idea of each characters' personality. From Iselda's wistful sighs of 'bafanada', to Hornet's battle cries of 'adino!', these are just noises to fill the quiet air of the Hallownest and give life to the various bugs we meet.

Hollow Knight is no exception there's certainly a language in the game, though it isn't obvious, because it all sounds like absolute gibberish. Dragon Age has its own version of Elven, The Legend of Zelda has various Hylian dialects, even Ratchet and Clank had its very own Lombax alphabet (which, if I recall correctly, is creatively named 'Lombaxian'). Video game lore nerds love a good fake language.
