Final Fantasy X

Oh, right. You're that idiot.
Quote by: Bickson, Luca Goers Blitzball player in Kilika

The Al Bhed Language

As you probably already know, in Final Fantasy X, the people like Rikku are Al Bhed's and they have their own language. As a sub-guest, you can collect Al Bhed Primers, which will teach you the language. In total there are 26 primers, spread throughout the world of Spira. Refer to the following table to learn their locations.

Primer Number	Teaches	Effect	Location
I	A	Y => A	Deck of Salvage Ship
II	B	P => B	Crusader's Lodge Entrance
III	C	L => C	S.S. Liki Engine Room
IV	D	T => D	Kilika Tavern (Bar)

XXIV	X	Q => X	Outside Remiem Temple

Of course, once you reach a certain number of Primers you've collected you'll reach a new Title in learning the language. Refer to the following table to view the titles you'll get for getting the Primers.

Primers Collected	Title	Translation
4	Pakehhan	Beginner
7	Typpman	Dabbler
10	Maynhan	Learner
13	Cbayghan	Speaker
16	Hydeja	Native
19	Unydun	Orator
22	Medanyde	Literati
26	Sycdan	Master

Once you've collected the total of 26 Primers, Rin will present you with 99 Underdog's Secrets in the Airship corridor. 30 of each will suffice for the Double Overdrive Weapon Ability.

Go translate!

Want to translate some Al Bhed you heard in the game into English, but you haven't got the Al Bhed Primers yet and/or you don't wanna translate it all yourself? Or you want to translate some English into Al Bhed to see how it's spelled or pronounced? Refer to our Al Bhed Translator and try it yourself!
