Metin2 Linguistic

Metin2 splits its world into three empires: Chunjo, Jinno, and Shinsoo. Each empire has its own language, so players from different empires cannot read or write to each other by default. The Linguistic system is how you get around that.

The three languages

• Chunjo Linguistics
• Jinno Linguistics
• Shinsoo Linguistics

You cannot learn your own empire's language. Only if you change kingdoms with a Tincture of Kingdoms can you master your previous language.

Language books

• Each player can master the language of the other empires.
• The maximum level of Linguistic is M1, and you have to read 20 language books successfully to get there.
• Once you have mastered a language, you can understand what players from that empire are saying, but they cannot see what you write.
• You can view your current Linguistic level in the skill tab (V), which shows the language book icons.

The Language Ring
If you do not want to read the books, the Language Ring lets you communicate without them. Once a player uses a Language Ring, that player can be understood by other players and can understand them in return.

Sign language
Players have also built an informal sign language over the years. It uses numbers and special characters that are not blocked the way normal characters are. The wiki gives two examples: typing "90" instead of "go", and a shape built from characters instead of "kill me".
