Time for some good old Sup Forumsutism. I have started trying to decipher the runes shown in the second episode of LWA and I'm 100% sure it's an actual alphabet. Since the dots looks almost exactly like braille but with 4 states instead of two (dot or flat for braille, left crescent, half moon, full moon and right crescent for these runes) I have decided to assign each dot of the rune a number to make identifying them easier and to read them top to bottom, left to right. (see notes at the end of this post for a better explanation)
I also think that the alphabet is a real language due to the frequency at which each rune appears. I have only identified the runes for the first two lines of picture related but I think that it should be enough to start translating.
This should be pretty easy if the runes translate to English. For example the second words containing 4 runes in the picture has the same letter (031230 with my notation) in its 1st and 3rd position, what could this word be? Loli? Nano? Tits? We need to use the patterns of different words and try to find them a meaning.
If someone wants to identify the runes in the other lines using my notation (described in my notes) please do, it'll make our work easier and I'm tired of doing it.
Notes: pastebin.com/v526Ycxb Open that in a text editor that highlights the selected string to make it easier to see where the runes are repeated.
And more runes if you want to ID them, this would really help with the frequency analysis.

It could be a mistake to assume that each line must necessarily be its own word, like with the loli/nano/tits example you used.
You'll notice that every "block" of symbols is always composed of 3 lines. It could that all 3 form into one single word
Luke Hernandez
Working off of this, they might be read vertically instead of horizontally
Joseph Roberts
>takes around 800 strokes to write 2 sentence curse are witches retarded?
Isaac Moore
I doubt the runes are in English. They're phonetic, meaning each group of symbols represents a sound. If we know what the sounds are in witch tongue, then we can relate each group of symbols to a specific sound. We already know what the phrase means.
Gavin Davis
I don't assume that, one rune is two columns and 3 lines.
Connor White
I got the meaning of the Jewish divination in their numerology class.
And by that I mean I barely have any idea because no Jewish person follows this anymore.
Jaxon Gutierrez
Like I think "letters" consist of blocks of 2 (horizontal) by 3 (vertical) runes. So 6 runes forming one letter. That way you get a sentence with words that have normal length, with a minimum of 2 letters/word and a maximum of 9 (first pic) and 11 (2nd pic). Then, assuming it's English (?) we can apply Poe's method to it.
Adrian Morgan
Is this the new official LWA thread? I need a place to post the new information they posted on the official site.
Alexander Hall
what's LWA?
Eli Myers
They probably just say it aloud and the words write themselves.

It might be worth making another one so this thread - which has a specific subject - doesn't get too clogged up
Juan Rogers
Diana read them pretty fluently, so I would assume they assign to kana phonemes.
Chase Sanders
Can we assume that what Diana read aloud at Ep. 2 is the real thing what was written on the board and use that to decipher the writing?
Andrew Myers
ah haven't watch that but i think at 4^6 is already enough t assign each kanji a braille?
Dylan Brooks
What I was thinking too
Jack Martinez
Fairly sure it's in English since the show is set in England.
Joseph Wilson
I don't think it's safe to assume that.
Robert Williams
>They're phonetic That's a possibility but it seems unlikely to me because of the number of different runes (20 in the first two lines). Also technically the person who came up with this alphabet probably made a font for the normal, latin alphabet instead of phonetic symbols.
This, but what you call a rune I call a dot and the 6 dots form a rune which correspond to a letter of the alphabet.
I also forgot to mention that I'm pretty sure there is no distinction between capital and lower case letters.
Very unlikely in my opinion.
Jaxon Martin
These phrases only have 21 sounds shared between them.
Adrian Peterson
Diana suspected that the teacher doesn't even know what was written there and wanted to confirm her theory by saying a part of a poem she wrote during her teenage angst phase. She was right.
Christian Thomas
Diana read it in japanese because every character speaks in Japanese for the sake of their japanese audience. The actual show is set outside of Japan and in a culture that is not japanese, so the runes don't necessarily translate directly to japanese phonetics.
Recall the madoka witchrunes translated into german.
Justin Kelly
If it's English there is most likely at least one "the" in there and maybe one "is". The "is" could be the sixth word of the third row (although it could also be something else, like "no").
Also notice how often that one letter (of the word you mentioned) appears as first letter of a word. It also appears as first letter of the second word of the second row and as first letter of the second and fourth word of the third row.
It might be "t" or something, since there are many words starting with t and ohne of them might be a "the". Most likely the first word of the third row since it is the first word of that sentence. This would mean that the 2-letter word I mentioned above isn't "is" but "h*", maybe "he".
Jack Campbell
>Poe's method The best way to start with this would be focusing on the 2-letter words, so the 4x3 blocks. There aren't that many of those in the English language:
am, an, as, at, by, go, if, is, it, me, my, no, of, on, or, so, us, we
Those are the most frequent ones. If we can identify one or more of these, that would be a great start.

Never mind I overlooked that the second letter of the "he" can't be an e if the other word is a "the" since it is a different letter. Damn, so it isn't English? I still try some shit I thing English is the language they most likely use, has Trigger ever used any correct German sentence or something else?
Kayden Diaz
Punctuation?

Liam Cruz
Now, one important 2-letter block is at the 8th line, 2nd block. There's a dot following it, so I presume it's the end of a sentence. How many 2-letter words we know in English that can end a sentence?
Most frequent would be "is". If this rune presents "is", we know the letters for I and S. If not we need to try something else.
Good call. How many combinations of two two-letter words are there in English?
Eli Harris

She cheated and had the translation written inside her eyelids.
Evan Watson
Generals ARE bad you goddamn mouthbreathing faggot. You would know this too if you had been here long enough to witness how fucking detrimental they have been to the board. Fuck off back to /vg/ or whereever you came from.
Brayden Cooper
>Literally moon runes
Good luck Sup Forumsnon
Charles Roberts
I agree. There are some places where there's only 3 or 4 blocks of runes between singular fullmoons. If those were periods then it would mean theres some exceptionally short sentences here.
Could it be based on morse code?
Jayden Thompson

Probably some more but those are the ones that make some sense.
Nathan Reyes
Could be. It could also be French. If it's German we should try to find Du, Die, Der, Das, Sie, Und, In, Aus
Some Wizard should try to forge regexps and test them against dictionaries in many languages.

LWA sucks and Trigger is sad excuse for a studio. To make a magical school so bland they really must be pathetic retards. The only thing they've got working for them is character design.
Gabriel Rodriguez
That would be 12 bits per rune, or 4096 characters.
You only need 6 (64 characters) bits to encode the interesting half of ASCII or the gojyuuon.
Christopher Ward
If you ever went to early Flip Flappers threads it was just about this autistic.

If the main character was anyone else but Akko it'd be an easy 9/10

"Did" is actually a very good contender if the text is in past tense.
Ryan Ortiz
What if it's Latin?
Levi Nelson
"HIFEJEI", "JGJF", "JOJ", all repeated at least once.
Any ideas?

good luck Sup Forumsutists, wish could join you since i did study linguistic but two much time for a wagecuck.
Benjamin Powell
This is also pretty unusual. 3-letter repetition in the same word.
William Ward
And Latin, considering that some of their spells sound latin.
We're fucked.
Christopher Green
If JOJ is "did", the two consecutive 2-letter words at the start of a new sentence in line 7 in don't have an i as a vowel. That could be a good clue.
Hudson Rogers
EN CU IA GA IF
If CU is "is", then the four other two-characters words can't be in/if/it/as/us. How many consecutive two character word can be valid if those words are taken out from the list of ?
