Known Examples

The Falmer Alphabet is, or rather was, the alphabet used by the Snow Elves. It is a very stylized script, quite the opposite of the minimalist script of their Dwemer captors. There are only two known examples of the language, both appearing in Skyrim. The very low number of examples is probably due to the fact that the many Snow Elves who sought asylum with the Dwemer were forced to lose their sight, at which point they ceased to require a written language.

Gallus's Encoded Journal, written by a former Guild Master of the Thieves Guild, is written in the Falmer alphabet, but it directly transliterates into English. The Skyrim add-on Dawnguard adds an additional four books, Unknown Book, Vols. I, II, III, and IV, but they too directly transliterate into English.

A stone which translates both Dwemeris and the Falmer language.

The largest and only example of the Falmer language is inscribed on a stone in Calcelmo's Tower. The half that is in the Falmer language transliterates into:

ye sa sou meldi calne tarn va nou molagnenseliye trumbi nou bala

ilpen av sou meldi nagaiale as guntumnia spantelepelaelia arani morae

ye sou liebali racuvane ye nu rautane sye ye nu hautalle nou buroi

gume sou gravuloi sa metane sye garlis frey as gandra dwemera tarcel

lane sou agea ye frey as emeratis avatheledia carelle sou anyamissi

bisia silya nu hecta sou arcten rias nu nemalauta ge nu hecta sou epe

gandra rias ne nemalauta ge nu frey sepa sye arcta varlor denai

cullei noue staneiaye ry sou alasil auta ry loria shanta abagaiavoy

malautavoy fey nou darre ye alata nou malae asma moraga sou anyamis

av sercen pado ye gethena sou wend narilia vey emeratu sou oia bisia

The text appears in the Falmer Alphabet as follows:

YE SA SOU MELDI CALNE TARN VA NOU MOLAGNENSELIYE TRUMBI NOU BALA

ILPEN AV SOU MELDI NAGAIALE AS GUNTUMNIA SPANTELEPELAELIA ARANI MORAE

YE SOU LIEBALI RACUVANE YE NU RAUTANE SYE YE NU HAUTALLE NOU BUROI

Falmer Language

Note: Due to the complete lack of translations, the below is just expert opinion.

The Falmer language appears to be heavily based on the Ayleid Language. A large number of words are shared by both languages and it appears that the Falmer language also uses the same grammatical structure. Details on the Ayleid grammatical structure can be found here. One difference is the complete lack of punctuation and capitalization, making separating sentences and clauses very difficult. Punctuation has been inferred from the Dwemer version of the text. A slightly different translation can also be found here.

Using Ayleid words to translate Calcelmo's Stone, it partially translates into:

And your people driven CALNE pass into our Halls of Fire, and TRUMBI our power.

ILPEN of yours driven NAGAIALE by GUNTUMNIA SPANTELEPELAELIA kings of the wood,

and your LIE-stones RACUVANE, and you RAUTANE SYE, and you shall become our slaves,

GUME your people's GRAVULOI. METANE SYE GARLIS FREY, by GANDRA DWEMERA TARCEL

LANE your wisdom and FREY by music of Avatheled CARELLE your new lives

BISIA SILYA. You exile your ARCTEN, RIAS you NEMALAUTA GE. You exile your EPE

gifts, RIAS you NEMELAUTA GE. You FREY SEPA SYE acknowledge lower-cast DENAI

CULLEI our STANEIAYE. As your ALASIL AUTA, as darkness comes forbidding.

High-AUTAVOY FEY our DARRE, and ALATA NOU high, by what MORAGA your life

of SERCEN, and GETHENA your WEND NARILIA VEY guiding your eternal BISIA.

Judging by the words that can be translated, the passage is likely about how the Snow Elves sought out the Dwemer for protection, who provided it but force-fed them a crippling fungus and enslaved them.
