Only EXPERTS Can Decode This Language! - Chants of Sennaar

- Chants of Sennaar Part 3 - claimed by many to be the hardest language in the game, the third floor of the Tower of Babel does not disappoint! These 'chosen ones' have some strange priorities, but they have problems, and I must solve them by mastering their language.

![[OUTDATED, READ DESCRIPTION] Paquerette Down the Bunburrows: Catching NW-25 using "lagsplosion"](/img/n.gif)
Dude i love how the player character is no longer just an observer, how you actually have a goal other than to learn the languages
Very very cool to see the conversations between the levels, and how translating their languages creates peace between them
@@matthewfanous8468what conversations between levels? Have they been getting edited out?
@@gunfighter009Near the end, when he’s translating with the fast travel points.
I love how the point of the game seems to be tp bring people together with these conversations
That was my favorite part too. However, I dislike how it ended up feeling like an afterthought. Mainly, it seems to be that you're intended to learn all 5 languages before you get any real benifit from doing them (they're required at the end of the game), rather than trying to translate with a partial understanding of each language, you learning as well as the people you help translate, and it being important because it gives you access to places that help you learn / connect each language.
I really like how each language has a different sentence structure, and different ways to express plural, questions, and negation. The devs did a great job at that.
Yeah but then (mild spoilers) the final two areas just go back to direct translation. I was hoping there’d be more variation in the sentence structure like the garden, but they never do it again
The Bard's grammar is especially different. The others have slight changes in how modifiers are used, and have different focuses of diction too.
But yeah, the different vibes of the languages are spot on
It feels like they're based on some evolution or some real language like Hindi (you know which one)
For example
Plural in 1st is just put 2 of the symbol
Warriors have cool squiggle
Bards have what the English S is
That's the first thing that came to mind
And the bard's language looks aesthetically pleasing, like Hindi.
That kunda makes it hard for me to learn though, because I always end up going "beautiful squiggles."
@@FeyTheBinIt looks more like Arabic to me.
Should keep in mind that the languages refer to each group differently. Devotees call themselves Devotees, but Warriors call them the Impure, so when interpreting their words from one language to the next there'll be a bit of meaning/nuance lost in translation.
I absolutely love the translation puzzles not only for using the knowledge you’ve gotten, but also for them having you account for syntax and context since the languages don’t share every word.
Kinda funny for the traveler to skip over the warrior casually calling the devotees demons, though.
“You can’t play music, you’re demons!”
“But we can play music!”
“Ok, you may pass”
@@slimecubeboing LOL, all a misunderstanding
@@slimecubeboing Music unites us all
It’s pretty accurate to real translation practices as well. If a word or phrase doesn’t have a direct translation, a close approximation is used.
It's really cool how the warrior language doesn't have a word for greetings, you or me.
Also the verbs, places and people words, have unique characteristic, like the dot either to the right or under the Symbole in the bard language.
Yes! Another Sennaar episode
This is quickly becoming one of my favourite series
I'm still gonna pick it up when I can because it's such a good game too for building critical thinking
@@mongmanmarkyt2897 it's really awesome. Picked up the game after the first episodes, it's awesome and highly recommended.

SAMEEE
That little translation minigame just turned this great game into an amazing one.
I'm very tempted to buy it and explore the rest myself.
I'd buy it too if i was good at puzzles, lmao
i bought it after the first episode and loved it, amazing game, took about 7 hours for me to 100%
I'd absolutely recommend it. I'm not too big on puzzle games but this one was really really fun. I was amazed for 7 hours straight.
@@blackbox-yk8zk I had to look up a clue or two (got stuck in the fortress because I didn't realize I could pick up the torch) but I still think the game was worth it. The satisfaction I felt from solving something or just seeing how everything fits together to form a language was incredible.
I did right after the first episode
Can't wait for the thumbnail to mysteriously change soon
Yeah
Yep
Yuh huh
4 sure
You mean to tell me I *didn't* misread the first time?
That was driving me nuts!
i absolutely love the thumbnails and editing for these sennaar videos, even more than normal lately. thank you tyler and editors for bringing us banger content every day
agreed, I think the editing is hilarious
"send nudes"
Huh, banger
Came for the "Eat My Nuts" thumbnail
Stayed for the Grammer crimes 😂
bruh the translating literally said "send nudes"
1:41 I feel in both cases, the greeting is meant to be representative of waving. The first one you learned looks like a hand (the two top lines being the fingers, and the curved line at the bottom resembles a palm with a thumb on the left end of the line) while the new greeting looks like a waving person, with the line in the middle going upward and the top loop resembling the back and head of the person, with the leftmost line resembling an arm and hand raised to wave.
It’s basically the word Aloha
@@minhkhangtran6948I understand what it means, I was talking about what the symbol looks like, since Tyler was talking about what they look like to him.
Just a minute into the video and the editing looks astounding. I genuinely didn’t realize the pop up that said how to guess wasn’t part of the base game, despite watching the previous two episodes
A popup like that is in the actual game, but only the first time. The editors put it into every video in case you missed the first one.
@@AlanMalloy youre right
Wait what?!?
Loved this game so much I did "The Thing" again, where I buy it, complete it, then come back to watch how you solve it. I've done "The Thing" with three games by now, including Patrick's Parabox, Islands of Insight (the open beta, lined up to purchase on release), and now Chants of Sennaar ☺
Same. I decided that I didn't want to keep yelling at the let's players so I decided to play myself.
Same, I've done it with Bunborrows, Island of Insight and Chants of Sennaar
Good luck with the Islands
@@juju8285 been having a blast, most of the new puzzles are fantastic. My only real complaint so far is the arbitrary gating of certain puzzle types to world progression, even if you find them in the open world
Really loving this game. The goal of uniting everyone by translating the language is kinda wholesome. I prefer that to just climbing the tower.
Soon enough, Tyler will learn the language of the Gods and learn how to cast spells
Spoiler: no its alchemist and anachoret
shadow wizard money gang we love casting spells
@@miksson886 anachoret 💀
@@oslonicl6251 what?
@@RegularRhombicDodecahedron what?
I think the hello/goodbye in the first language is not a smiley face, but actually a hand, indicating waving!
The Bard's "greetings" glyph is definitely someone waving
So based off how the dots and lines are connecting after translating conversations, it'll form the devotee's symbol for god. Thought that was cool
spoilers below for the true ending + final 2 civilisations
.
.
.
.
.
.
it'll actually form all the "god glyphs"! it'll form god in devotee speak, then duty in warrior speak, beauty in bard, transformation in alchemist and exile in anchorite
@@oslonicl6251really shows how all the civilisations think about what is most important
Oh my god the translating and creating the sentence part! Seeing the physical changes those puzzles create makes me super stoked for when all the languages connect!
I love how the game is starting to have unique word order and grammar, OSV for the win!!!!
osv and vso are best word order and i shall explain it
svo and sov are basic bitches, not much else to say
ovs and vos make it seem like the object is the one doing the action (totally not bias)
anyways thank you for listening to my ted talk
Thank you so much for playing this game, it’s been my passion ever since it released and I’m so happy to see it being played by my favorite creator!!
I love this game so much! Excited to see what this episode has to offer!
Wow, the complexity of the languages learning really went up in this episode, I'm really curious how far it will go in the future!
And the weather today… Cloudy with a chance of sennaar
Bardic language definitely more based on translating than overworld puzzles. Next one, well, you may or may not have played it yet, but it's much more based on overworld puzzles, but it still maintains the essence of the game greatly
What an awesome game. It reminds me of the DLAB test I had to take for military eligibility. It made up a language and you had to gradually understand how their sentence structure was and it got gradually more difficult.
Ooh that’s cool
Tyler being completely oblivious to the Warriors' fortress glyph on the translation mural is peak Tyler
Gotta love Tyler spelling both the British and American versions of "theater/theatre" in one video.
To be honest, I do it too. There are some words that just read nicer the British way, and some words where I regularly change between them. Theatre/theater is one of those such words where I pick which form to use when I write it.
In my experience, theater refers to the building, while Theatre refers to the artform (this may be an American tradition)
I like the symbols that you can sort of identify as being shaped like people doing things. Like with the monkey wind up theater where the middle person bent over to look at a flower, the unique character for that one looked like a person bending down to look at a small thing sticking up
God bless Tyler’s editors. They get better and better every episode. Actually s tier
There should be a game like this but it teaches you an actual language. I would actually genuinely learn more languages if they were presented in this format.
Weird game idea: combine this game with geoguessr. Essentially put yourself in a random city location that doesn’t use your native language, and your goal is to determine the name of the city you are in.
Essentially it’s geoguessr, but instead of guessing on a map, you just have to type in the name of the city you are in exactly
The editing during the sewer wandering was top notch!
Loving this new series, I’m so unbelievably excited for a new episode!!!
The person giving you the theater token was saying "You like to play" because you just won a game, which is why they gave you the token!
Also I always saw the Devotees' greeting glyph as an open hand, like a wave?
That put aside, this LP is my first "follow-through" after reaching the end twice and it's delightful how many insights I'm still figuring out. For example, I didn't notice all the verbs in the Bards' language had the dot in the upper right. I also had suspected there was still more to the Devotees' vocabulary based on the pieces forming the glyphs, and the broken engraving in front of the purple door was an outright confirmation when it had a glyph showing both the "place" piece and the piece that is added to "human" to make "warrior"!
20:11 the fortress symbol was higher up on the tablet. it’s a single word in the warriors language, with the rest cut off
I absolutely love these randomly thrown-in visual gags.
The translation between languages is one of the best moments in this game. They truly brings a sense of mastery and connections.
I like how most of these words I took forever to understand, but this guy just gets them immediately.
Most of the puzzle solving time is edited out
@@orngjce223 well I guess but I meant like the words, I took like most of the game with some of those words un-translated.
i found every single word except a few because i just didn't go to the area where they talk about comedy and the bards
I love that you learn written and spoken language simultaneously
the bard's speech pattern is so weird. the only way i was able to make sense of it was to just imagine they were talking like yoda lol
Word order OSV. According to Wikipedia only some very obscure languages use it, though some common languages like Korean and even English can use it when they want to emphasize a particular part of the sentence. The not...not is like French ne...pas, and the question...question is like Spanish.
Your editing earned you a new subscriber, I love that you zoom and highlight stuff that you're talking about so viewers can quickly be on the same page as you. Not to mention speeding up sections that look nice but take a while instead of just cutting them or leaving them in. Very refreshing to watch your content!
Can’t get enough of this game, such a fantastic concept! Easily my favourite series of yours
I absolutely adore this game. It is just so good looking!
Loving this series so far!
I've actually been absolutely loving this series, keep it up!
Love this series, plus the editing is so funny. Keep it up
This might me my favorite game I’ve seen on your channel. It’s all just fascinating to me. I love it so much!
Wonderful game! Would love to see you showing the dialogues of the bards after you fully translated their language!
This game just keeps getting better! Really enjoying the playthrough!
Editing good as always of course
This is surprisingly my favourite game to watch you play. It's just so satisfying when you find out the word that you didn't understand and the artstyle is just a really good fit.
I absolutely love the edits he is (or he's editor)been adding later
Piss 2 had me rolling
My favorite series is back
i absolutely love this series, of this game. i have such a fun time trying to decypther everything in the same pace as you do. thank you for making this game series.
Loving this game. And the editing is on point and only getting better
Loving this series!! one of my fav games to watch rn from u :)
This has quickly become my favorite series on the channel! Can't wait for more!!
This game is so cool! And the editors are amazing as always
Aliensrock I want you to know that every day I look forward to watching your next episode of chants of sennaar I started watching your channel because of btd6 became i thought that that was the only game you played but now you have shown me so many great games like storyteller and I cant thank you enough and also thank you to your editors as i wouldn't have found this great game without that greater thumbnail
Always looking forward to a new video from Tyler, especially about this game!
Plus, the editing brings a funny flavor to the experience that I really enjoy (as a UA-cam commenter, I have to say "Ooh! Yes! Yess!!").
This has to be my favorite series by far i cant wait for the next episodes
I love watching this series and your interpretations of the words and your process
You introduced me to this game with your first episode, so I had to go play it. I just want to say thanks, that was a really fun game through and through. The ending gets a little wild.
I feel relieved that Tyler struggled at the beginning part as much as I did. And also, great video, as always!
This is the exact reason why i love watching you. There’s no way that I’m ever going to play these sort of game by my own and enjoy them.
Love this!! Can't wait for the next one!!
This editing is amazing :) Very funny and immersive.
9:48 and here's the assumption that left Tyler confused for this entire section remember to write what you see and not what you think "magnifying glass action" or something similar eventually wouldve lead you to think "find" after seeing it so many times
3 days is too much to wait for this! love this game.
Been having a really rough time to say the least, haven't had access to Internet either, but now I do, and this is exactly what I needed, thx Tyler!
Oooh this is continuing to be such a fascinating game! Awesome video as always!
I love games about discovering languages and making your way through them. This game gets a more puzzle like feeling to it but it is really good
20:07 the fortress symbol from the warriors was above the bard's symbol for fortress
Been playing each floor every night and then coming back and watching Tyler's attempt in the morning and him saying, at the second page "I'm supposed to get this by now, are you nuts?" was so cathartic because I said the same exact thing in my head
i bought the game after the first vid and played through it in 2 days. This man finds the most fire puzzle games, i swear.
This is such a cool game and idea, thank you for the videos
I only started watching Tyler this year, but really enjoy all of his content every day. That said, this is by far my favorite game that he's played on the channel, for me this is peak content. Will be bittersweet when this series ends.
I started playing the game when I saw your first video and the bard layer was my absolute favorite. Can't wait to see how you handle the next one though, it is a doozie
Top notch to the editors. Don’t think your little input/puns go unnoticed. I pause the video to read each one. Also… is Tyler really that obsessed with eggplants? Lol.
I played this game, thanks to you, and this level was my favorite. I spent so long stuck on the first few symbols, and when I figured it out, it was so satisfying
I got the game after watching your first two videos and I struggled a lot with the bard language. Nice to see I wasn't alone in my confusion.
I love your thumbnails almost as much as your intros
9:26 we should all fear Dave
(Im absolutely in love with the series so far)
"Warriors like music"
Oh my god, why didn't I think of that! 🤦
😂
Another episode of my favorite series. Love it!
omg i watched these all just now and i need another part!!!
22:00 - I think the thing that Tyler called a "pinecone sword" is actually supposed to be a torch!
As he ventured past that door, he stepped into the darkness, where monsters live. From what we saw, monster is scared by the light, so it would be logical to have the door to that area show an image of a man holding a torchlight to protect themself against the monster
20:11 the symbol was there, in the top row. the top row was the warrior language but only had that symbol left at the end. the second row is devotee but was missing that symbol.
Very cool concept for a game. Thanks for the content!
I couldn't wait for the episodes, so i went and bought the game myself, and beaten it in one 6h session.... It was very much worth it.
Cracking the third language was the most fun, and the puzzles in the 4th one also were quite fun. The part where you also get to translate back and forth gets so cool once you get all of them
I think this is now my favorite series. Despite the long video, I watched it the *moment* I noticed it. This game is absolutely incredible!
This was my favorite part of the game. The unique sentence structure/grammer/syntax was so cool. Non of the other areas really played around with that, except for slightly different ways to communicate plurals. Wish mastering the syntax along with vocabulary was done a bit more, but still a great game!
You're so much more observant than I am, Tyler. Look at how badly I did on this level:
- missed the compass glimmering in the underground area and spent 90min looking for it
- missed the fact the broken statue is of a compass, so I had the words for N/S/E/W translated as verbs. So I also missed the fact the verb glyphs all have a particular feature
- missed the fact the other statue represents the bards' view of the tower
- got the words for me/you confused multiple times with each other and with the verbs have and be (kept forgetting the OSV word order)
- didn't identify the weird clown face as showing "idiot"; I had the word translated as "other type" (from the monkey bit, some other type of warrior)
- like you, also missed the fast travel point
Worst of all, I didn't revisit the earlier layers of the tower after doing the translations. Gonna have to go back to see what I missed!
I decided to get the game because of aliensrock, i completed the game and as soon as i finish i see this, quite nice timing!
Edit: Very enjoyable series, cant wait to see how you tackle the next chapter/floor or whatever
the only playthrough of this game im watching is yours since i love your content so much your reactions are so funny lmao
In the Rosetta Stone about the men of the abbey being free, the symbol for fortress in the warriors language was on the stone in the top right
Actually, this was the first time I bought and played a puzzle game instead of just watching the series here on UA-cam because I immediately fell in love with the art style and especially the concept of this game!
Decided to buy and binge this whole game after watching part of your first video. Love to watch now that I'm not spoiling it for myself haha!
i asbolutely love this game, the concept is so cool
I'm like in love with this game, it's such an interesting way to show how just about anyone can learn a language with just context clues. I mean it's how we've been learning Egyptian runes
I saw ur first episode and ended up livestreaming an entire playthrough lol. This is absolutely the hardest language in the game for me 😂
I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't notice the pile of stuff next to the first Bard teleport. I spent like half an hour running around the sewers thinking that page was unlocked by something down there.
At some point I nervously clicked the Hint button every time I entered a new room. Though I think it's not really a hint, it just highlights the hotspots.
