Happy Mudokon Written Language

MeechMunchie started a thread on the New n Tasty spoiler forums, "Wild Mass Guessing Thread" in which he posted this; The outside of the Scrabanian Temple in New n Tasty.




I figured I would start a new thread specifically dedicated to decoding these Mudokon texts, and leave the Wild Mass Guessing Thread to broad ideas and theories regarding the Oddworld universe in general.

This text very much interested me, so I decided to search for other examples of Mudokon script around Abe's Oddysee, and was not disappointed. The Scrabanian Temple shares many of the same symbols in both games, and even certain phrases or patterns of symbols are repeated (although one example has two symbols swapped in the New n Tasty version) over from Abe's Oddysee in New n Tasty.



Unfortunately, I do not own a PS4, so I've been relying on youtube walkthroughs to snag my NnT screens, so if there's anyone interested in this who owns a PS4 and New n Tasty, please join me in trying to find as many examples of Mudokon language as you can.

Hopefully with enough examples, we can derive meaning from some of these charcters/symbols based on their contexts!

Feel free to post your guesses as to what each message could say!

EDIT: Attached is a much larger version of the image above, for those of you who want to get a close look at the symbols.
