The Al Bhed language is a special language from Final Fantasy X spoken by the Al Bhed. The language largely varies from the English spoken by many of the other races in Spira. However, it isn't a language in the true definition of the word. The Al Bhed language is in reality a cypher. It is only considered a language, because the Japanese version of the game called it the 'Aru Bedo go', which translates to 'Al Bhed language.
The Al Bhed have their own language. Working like a substitution cipher (a language system replacing certain letters with others), it shares the same syntax and grammar as English in the English versions of Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2. Any spoken Al Bhed is styled in purple in written dialogue, with characters translated from Al Bhed in pink.
The Japanese version uses the Japanese kana syllabaries to speak and translate Al Bhed. The replaced kana uses the same vowel sound, except for P-consonant kana, which interchange. Written Al Bhed text doesn't use kanji, and is presented in katakana (giving it a distinct foreign look), while the translated text is presented in hiragana. Specific words are often separated with spacing for clarity. Words that are said the same in Japanese/Spiran and Al Bhed are written in pink katakana.
Converting Al Bhed to English/Japanese is simple once a person knows which letter/sound stands for what, but in the world of Spira, people require entire books to translate one letter, implying the language may be more complicated than how the games depict it.
