Portions of the characters seem similar to Hangul (Korean) and Hiragana (Japanese), so it is probably the Torio language (similar to how they devised the Rosharan Scripts) - and likely derived with influence from Hanze/Hanja/Kanji, Hangul and Hiragana.

Firesong she/her Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 (edited) I agree with Treamayne, that is definitely not Hangul. Just looks like a in-world script influenced from a mix of Korean and Japanese scripts (just like how Torio and Nagadan are based on a mix of Korea and Japan) Also, yeah, how did you get it already? While I am not calling you a liar, I want to believe you, this does feel a little suspicious. Edited July 9, 2023 by Firesong 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treamayne Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 So, Here's my best guesses: Relevant Section: Spoiler This could be either Character-Based (like Chinese, Hanja, Kanji) or Syllable Based (like Hangul, Hiragana) Character: Spoiler If it is character based, it is probably these two characters. Syllable: Spoiler If it is syllabic, then it is probably two two-syllable words, broken like this. Analysis: Spoiler Stroke Order makes this look like a Korean "n" (ㄴ) at top, followed by a possible Japanese "hi" twice (ひ) - that's assuming the vertical line is either based on the Korean vowel i "ㅣ" - or - the possible "니" (overlapping) could just be based on the Japanese a kana " あ " with the "no"(の) portion replaced by "hi" This is the one that loks closest to Chinese, to me. An argument could be made for it to derived of some combination of Hangul letters u, d/t, g/k (ㅜ,ㄷ/ㅌ,ㄱ/ㅋ). Maybe some derivation of Japanese "se" (せ). Depending on if the "cross tail" from Syllable 1 is part of this one, it could be some combination of Korean "g/k" (ㄱ) with Japanese "sa" (reversed - さ ). The "riyul" (r/l - ㄹ) is the most clearly Korean derived portion of the whole thing (though dragon in Chinese Long Form has a similar section right of the radical - (龍) - however the rest does not feel Korean at all. The three dots are reminscent of Short Form Chinese (e.g. here is "school" in long and short form, and you can see how the top of the character was reduced to three small marks: 學 - 学). The bottom could be an "s" (ㅅ) or possibly based on Japanese "he" (へ). If I had to guess, based on context of the story, I would guess this is Torio for Yoki-hijo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They words are 麪媛 ，meaning: Noodle Princess Good catch. That's why I did not speculate on my "Character" based section above - my character vocabulary is low (a few hundred of the most common Hanja used in Korean) with enough knowledge to look them up in my dictionaries - when they are "legible" enough for me to determine radiacal and stroke count. This does seem like a derivation of the Kanji you mentioned though - very similar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
