Indeed, corrupted portions of the Sheikah Slate are incapable of being transliterated to Link, instead appearing legibly in the Sheikah languageĭespite having their own writing system, Sheikah Monks are capable of communicating to Link with ease. The Sheikah seems to be foreign to Hylians, who instead use the Hylian Language#Sixth Hylian Script. Because of this, it does not appear to thematically borrow from any known script. The Sheikah language is systematically linear and angular in form, as all characters fit within an invisible, uniformly square shape. In supplementary material, such as the promotional ' Calamity Ganon' tapestry included with the Limited and Master editions of Breath of the Wild, the Sheikah language has been used to romanize Japanese syllabograms. In many cases, these simple phrase compositions have been shown to repeat without such punctuation, leaving no clear point for where the passages of text begin or end. Spaces are completely omitted between words, forming a composite of simple words (such as with the instructions on the portcullis in the Keh Namut Shrine, ' SLIDEUP'). Three full stops in a row form the equivalent to English ellipses (…). The full stop symbol functions identically to the English period character, as well as being able to break a sentence from another without any need for spacial punctuation. This grammatical structure allows for sentences to dramatically change their flow, either as a continuous string or as a more spacious and readable text.

These exceptions include the use of full stops to separate sentences, and a hyphen between some phrases.

The Sheikah language is found on Sheikah architecture and artifacts, such as inside Ancient Shrines It functions mainly as a cipher of the Latin alphabet, with a few inconsistent and demonstrably optional exceptions.
