The purpose of this webpage is to provide a list of all of the words of the Language of D’ni that have been published by Cyan, together with citation of the actual source of each item and some indication of the context. This page is very much a work in progress.  As a glance at the list of “Sources Cited” so far will show, information about the language has been revealed in diverse ways, ranging from inscriptions on artifacts and writings depicted in the Myst games, to reported speech in the novels, to terminology of the D’ni culture described on Cyan’s own website.  Translations of words (and contextual phrases) have been included, where these are known, or where they can be inferred.  Speculative translations are placed in brackets “[ ]” and queried where they are very uncertain or mere guesswork.

Some words have been published both in the D’ni writing system and in a Roman transliteration.  Others have been published only in transliteration or only in the original script, and in the latter case the word has been transliterated here.  Cyan’s mode of rendering D’ni into Roman letters varies somewhat according to the circumstances, but always based on an attempt to use conventions that are familiar from the representation of English sounds.  I have adopted a mode that reflects the least ambiguous of these variants (see the tables below) and use it consistently for all words transcribed from words published in the D’ni script.  But I have also cited words published in transliteration in the form Cyan actually uses for that word or phrase.

The following table gives the letters of the D’ni Alphabet in the order they are displayed in the Schoolroom on Riven.  There are 24 letters and an apostrophe, here numbered using the D’ni system.  It is not a coincidence that there are the same number of letters as there are numerals, and indeed the graphic similarities between the two systems (especially if one imagines the numerals without the boxes around them) show that they are related to each other at some historical level.  For more about the construction of the D’ni letters see this page at the Guild of Linguists website.

Transcription of the basic letters:

Transcription of the modified letters:

These tables were made by Jehon, who has also created a downloadable D’ni font ( link ).

Note that Cyan uses I and ai for the letter represented here by í, frequently uses e for eh, and a for ah, and occasionally uses ay for ai, u for uh, oi for oy, and e for ee.  Other variations will also be found in use among students of the language and writing of the D’ni.  There is no fixed standard of transcription because the D’ni culture never had any substantial contact with those cultures that use the Roman Alphabet.

The text of Atrus’s Prayer in the 1996 Myst Calendar ( link ) seems to be written in the same language as the other D’ni texts that have been published, but the assignment of phonetic values to certain letter-forms appears to be slightly different.

The following is a chart of the values used in Atrus’s Prayer:

	#1  = [v]  #1' = [b]	#2  [not used ]	#3  = [s]  #3' = [sh]	#4  = [j] ? #4' = [g]
#5  = [ts]	#6  = [n] #6' = [k]	#7  = [i] #7' = [ee]	#8  = [f] #8' = [p]	#9  = [ah]
#10  = [eh] #10' = [ai]	#11 = [r]	#12  [not used ]	#13 = [th]	#14  = [dh] #14' = [d]
#15  = [h]	#16  = [o] #16' = [oy]	#17 = [t]	#18 = [w] ?	#19  = [uh] #19' = [oo]
#20  = [kh]	#21  = [l]	#22 = [ch]	#23 = [z]	#24  = [m]

The values are based on inferences from the text.  Words that (if read according to the published values used in other texts) would appear quite unfamiliar, such as nirkhchivon, yiv cheh, ch’gehschoy, b’fisí, or g’aehv i’shehn, become sensible when the proposed substitutions (indicated in red on the chart) are made.  We get marntahvom ‘your creation’, tsahv teh ‘I live in’, t’gehstoy ‘by art’, b’fahsee ‘entirely’ (‘to twenty-five’), and g’chehv ah’shehm ‘and I thank you’.

An explanation of this variant D’ni alphabet has not been forthcoming.  But the fact that it employs fewer symbols, that some of the differences seem to preserve a similarity of shape, and that it is used for the writing of a prayer, all tend to  suggest that this may be an archaic variant of D’ni writing.  Perhaps this version predates the systematic association between the letter-forms and the numerals, which might very well have led to the addition of a few forms (to fill in gaps) or a reassignment of values to make it easier to distingish similar forms based on their context.

In this Dictionary of the Language of D’ni, since the words have all been transcribed, they have been listed in approximate Roman Alphabetical order, though a separate section is given for each separate D’ni letter.  Thus all of the words beginning with dh come in a section following all of the words beginning with d, and similarly there are separate sections for ee, eh, kh, etc.  For those who are more familiar with the D’ni Alphabetical order, the following links should provide easy access to sections of the Dictionary:

	V.     B.	T.	S.      Sh.	J.     G.
Y.	Kh.     K.	Ah.     Í.	F.      P.	I.     EE.
Eh.     AI.	R.	M.	Th.	Dh.     D.
H.	O.     OY.	Ch.	W.	Uh.     OO.
TS.	L.	A.	Z.	N.

This list will be expanded as words from other sources are added to the Dictionary.  For further information on various of these sources links have been included to Cyan’s websites, and to Kehrin’s D’ni Desk Reference, Leelan’s Riven Revealed, Yohshee’s D’ni Journeys, Coren’s Guild of Discoverers, and the D’ni Linguistic Fellowship.
