Inkling (language)

Inkling is the language in which Inklings in Splatoon communicate.

Appearance
Much of the Inkling language seems similar to the Cyrillic and Latin alphabets. Many letters also resemble Japanese characters.

Inkling speech may occasionally sound like real words, but for the most part it is indecipherable, high-pitched gurgling.

Readable words
Some Inkling words are clearly readable as English or Japanese words.

Decoding
There have been many attempts at decoding the Inkling language but so far none have been successful, leading some to believe the language is just gibberish.

Others believe that, since Nintendo has made previous languages before, such as Hylian, it could be possible that Inkling can be translated.
