In this video, we will explore the Banu written language, which is based on a system of glyphs that each represent a syllable. These glyphs, called ochoa, are the basic units of Banu writing and they reflect how the Banu perceive the world around them. Learning to read and write Banu will not only prepare us for more advanced language lessons, but also enable us to enjoy the beauty and diversity of Banu culture. It will also make sure we don’t get ripped off when buying a Banu Defender or Banu Merchantman on the Protectorate’s grey market.
