ATLANTEAN LANGUAGE

This is the dictionary on the Atlantean Language. The Atlantean alphabet is a
standard 26 letter a-z alphabet with three additions of CH, SH, TH. Atlantean is not
just read for left to right like English. It reads from left to right and then right to left
then left to right and so on. So, it zig zags down the page. When you read a
paragraph, the first line will be regular, but the second line will be backwards, and
the third line will be regular again. However, there are only a few cases in the
Shepherd's Journal where the text reads in paragraph form.

ATLANTEAN ALPHABET
Below is the complete translation of English to

Atlantean alphabet. The translation is also printed on
the inside cover of your Shepherd's Journal.
