Humanity may well be the most common species inFinal Fantasy X, butthe world of Spira is made up of many different races. Like Tidus and the rest of the party, the Guado and the Ronso typically communicate in English (or whatever language the player has selected in the options menu), although there’s one race in the game that can often be found speaking using their very own secret language.

The mother tongue ofthe Al Bhedmay seem a little nonsensical to players at first, despite it sharing several similarities with written and spoken English. By finding the 26 hidden Al Bhed Primers that are scattered throughoutFinal Fantasy X, however, players will eventually be able to make sense of what they are saying and unlock both the Speaking in Tongues and Master Linguist trophies/achievements while they are at it.
Cipher: Y -> A
Players will be able to get their hands on the first Al Bhed Primer after they are pulled onboard the Al Bhed salvage ship near the beginning after the game. It’s in the top right hand corner of the vessel, not too far from the save sphere.
- If players fail to pick up the primer while on the salvage ship, they’ll be able to find it later on in the Bikanel desert in an area to the northeast of the Oasis.
Cipher: P -> B
The second Al Bhed primer is located in the Crusader’s tent in Besaid Village. It’s on the floor to the right of the counter, although can be fairly difficult to spot due to the position of one of the nearby NPCs. Although players can return to the village later in the game, there’ll come a point where they’ll need to defeat Dark Valefor in order to do so and so it’s best to pick this one up early if possible.
Cipher: L -> C
To find the third Al Bhed Primer, players will need to make their way down to the engine room while onboard the S.S. Liki. It’s on the ground opposite the second large Chocobo wheel and should be fairly easy to spot for most players.
- If players fail to pick up the primer while traveling on the S.S. Liki, they’ll be able to find it later on in the Bikanel desert near the tent where Wakka rejoins the party.
Cipher: T -> D
Players will be able to pick up the fourth Al Bhed Primer in one of the huts in Kilika Port. It’s sat on the counter just behind Kulukan, theBlitzball playerwho they’ll see sat on the ground following Sin’s attack.
Cipher: A -> E
To find the fifth Al Bhed Primer, players will need to make their way to the bridge while traveling aboard the S.S. Winno. It’s on the floor directly behind the ship’s captain and is fairly difficult to miss.
- If players fail to pick up the primer while onboard the S.S. Winno, they’ll be able to find it later on in the Bikanel desert in a pile of rubble near the spot where they find Kimahri.
Cipher: V -> F
The sixth Al Bhed Primer is on the floor in a corridor in Luca Stadium opposite the entrance to the Besaid Aurochs' locker room. Players should look for the two Kilika Beasts players standing between the windows and will then find the primer behind one of their feet.
Cipher: K -> G
The seventh Al Bhed Primer is on the floor at the bottom of the stairs that lead up to the Sphere Theater in Luca. It can be a little tricky to spot due to the color of the carpet on which it sits, but those who are actively looking for it shouldn’t have too much trouble finding it.
Cipher: R -> H
To get hold of the eighth Al Bhed Primer, all players need to do is speak with Rin in the travel agency on the Mi’ihen Highroad. This can be done at any time, so it doesn’t matter if players fail to acquire it on their first visit to the area.
Cipher: E -> I
Shortly after leaving Rin’s Travel Agency, players will continue their journey along the Mi’ihen Highroad. When they reach the north section of the Newroad, they’ll find the ninth Al Bhed Primer on the ground on the outside of a bend. It’s not too far from the gray cylindrical object and can be picked up even while riding a Chocobo.
Cipher: Z -> J
Upon arriving in the Valley area of the Mushroom Rock Road, players will be able to follow a hidden pathway to gain access to an elevated area. They’ll find the tenth Al Bhed Primer on the ground upon their arrival in this spot.
