Aliens' secret language in Dandadan deciphered. Fan solved Yukinobu Tatsu's mystery
The incomprehensible language of the Dandadan aliens can finally be translated. A clever fan has figured out Yukinobu Tatsu's method.
Dandadan is a crazy shonen that is winning the hearts of manga and anime fans. The creator of the manga, Yukinobu Tatsu, surprises readers and viewers with his ideas and original approach to the genre. Not without reason, Dandadan can boast international popularity.
And there is no shortage of dedicated Dandadan fans. One of them devoted his time to solving the puzzle placed in the manga by Tatsu. It's about the previously incomprehensible language of aliens, used by the fan-favorite Vamola. The symbols representing her language actually have meaning and can be translated, as discovered by Specialist_Bowler897, since Tatsu used the Ugaritic alphabet, which dates back to around 1400 BC.
As the internet user explained, sentences should be read from right to left, however, the words themselves are read from left to right. After translating from the Ugaritic alphabet to Latin, the letters should be arranged into words in Japanese using romaji. From this stage, additional translations into other languages can be arranged, but Specialist_Bowler897 notes that translating the "alien language" into human may present several challenges.
You will find a full explanation of the translation process developed by the internet user on Reddit. Furthermore, he included in his analysis of Vamola's language some sample translations, which he created using his method.
The discovery of a Dandadan fan is a significant breakthrough for the series' enthusiasts, who can now return to the older chapters and translate the characters' lines, giving them a new perspective on the course of events in the series. It appears that Tatsu didn't insert random symbols in the manga to mimic a foreign language; rather, he employed the ancient alphabet of a defunct language, providing readers with an opportunity to translate Vamola's words on their own. This allowed them to become more involved in the reading process, turning them into more active readers.
