Through hours of arduous cypher work and codebreaking someone has finally managed to decipher the Asuran alphabet to a state where its translatable into English! The original thread on reddit is here Or if you have trouble reading reddit like I do, then there is a PCGamesN article here Some people have already started using this knowledge to decipher asuran text from game textures, and the best part of it..... there are loads of inside jokes / pop culture references to things like Portal, Mass Effect, Firefly and more (you can read the text on the image linked above, and where the references come from on the reddit page) I think its great that ANet have taken the time to make the Asuran language an actual complete language, and doubly great that they have included all these little easter eggs / references for people to find :) Cluck Cluck, Gibber Gibber, My Old Mans A Mushroom |

Well, it's an alphabet that reveals words in English, not a complete language, but it's still pretty cool. I like that enough of the letters look some what like their Roman Alphabet counterparts. It will make it easier for people who want to to memorize the characters and read the in game inscriptions with out needing to pull out a diagram to do the translation. :) Want to know more about GW2 and why there is so much buzz?
