Latin-Based Language

The Latin-Based Language (unofficial name), popularly known as the Abyss Language (unofficial name), can be found all over Teyvat, usually in non-mundane inscriptions such as those relating to gods, alchemy, astrology, and in association with Ley Lines; it also appears when magical seals appear, such as on some chests. The alphabet is based on like the common written language of Teyvat, but the words and grammar are based on instead of English. Although there is no capitalization, there is punctuation.NGA: Deciphering of the Khaenri'ah Alphabet (Reddit: English translation) Additionally, some versions of this alphabet are associated with the Abyss Order — and it may be that this was the script of Khaenri'ah.

==Special Forms==
The glyphs of this alphabet are divided into top and bottom halves by a thin but deliberate gap. Typically, the full glyph is used, however in some cases, only half of the glyph is shown or only half of the glyph is relevant.
*The event menu for Unreconciled Stars uses only the bottom half of the glyphs.
un 1 a.png|Text under "Unknown Star": somnia ("dreams")
un 2 a.png|Text under "Star of Deceitful Dreams": ierunt ("they have gone")
un 3a.png|Text under "Star of Destiny": caelum ("sky")
*In the quest A Herald Without Adherents, two lines of text use only the top half of the glyphs, with one being inverted.
Fatae parcae.png|Fatae parcae (, )
Fati textrix.png|Fati textrix (inverted; "the weaver of fate")
* In the secret messages found in The Chasm: Underground Mines, only the bottom half of the glyphs should be read:The top half of the glyph is changed systematically. Specifically, the alphabet is divided into five-letter sets (with six letters for the last set) and first letter of the set uses an inverted top half of the last letter of the set, the second letter of the set uses an inverted top half of the second-last letter of the set, and so on. This results in, for example, the letters A, B, C, D, and E having an inverted top half of the letters E, D, C, B, and A for their top halves respectively, while the bottom halves remain the same.
