The Ancient Tongue which the Laguz characters speak is actually just a heavily stylized English font. The pieces of Ancient Tongue that appear on the game's menus can be translated, and when placed in order, form a quote from Shakespeare's Hamlet, specifically a love poem that Hamlet sends to Ophelia: "Doubt that the Stars are fire / Doubt that the Sun does not move / Doubt truth to be a liar, / But never doubt I love." The quote has no relevance to the game's plot, but is a neat reference to a famous line.
