Monstrous

Current "translation table (capital and small letters are mixed)"

The Monstrous, sometimes referred to as the Monstrous Alphabet or the Monster Alphabet, is the alphabet that is part of the Monster Language, the language the Singing Monsters use. Around the franchise and game My Singing Monsters, the Singing Monsters have a specific form of calligraphy that they communicate to themselves and other readers with. Usually, it is used to send secret messages to the players of My Singing Monsters and Dawn of Fire.

It is based upon Romanized letters of the English Alphabet or Hindu-Arabic numbers (i.e. the numbers English uses), except into combinations of swirls, lines, dots and other stylized details. It can be found almost everywhere in the game, such as on signs of structures and on sneak peaks of new content.

Numbers

Use of the Monster Alphabet's numbers is rarer than for the letters. The calendar in the Month of the Mythical 2 video and website appears to be based on the standard English calendar, with special symbols replacing the English digits. 

Note that the symbol for five is a combination of the symbols for four and 1; 7 is a combination of four, two, and one; nine is a combination of six and three; and eight is a combination of 2 fours.

Special Characters

The Monster Language uses almost the exact same special characters as other real-world languages, with a few slight differences.

Grammar and punctuation

The Monster Language is almost an exact copy of the English language, sharing the same grammar and spelling rules, albeit with different symbols for letters and numbers. It is read from left to right. It is not known whether full stops/periods are used.

Usage

It is used among many sneak peaks of new content sometimes hidden in social media posts or other events shown in the Mailbox. Sometimes, they are there simply to compliment a social media message, such as through Facebook, or by other uses. Below is a list of examples of usage.

Notes

• The alphabet is actually called the "Monstrous Alphabet" and was confirmed by the Monster-Handlers.
• There are capital and small letters as well. They are used appropriately in grammar and spelling rules.
• While there is only one way of writing Monstrous, there seems to be multiple ways to speak it- one identical to English (spoken by the Werdos, PomPom, Brump and Congle) and one that sounds like gibberish/scatting (spoken by Shugavox, Rare Wubbox, Whajje and possibly some other vocal Monsters like Cybop).
• The letters don't seem to have a consistent position; letters tend to be flipped and/or rotated in some way.
