== Trivia ==
* In addition to Aons, there is also an Aonic Alphabet, in which each letter is a single sound, that is used for sounds that can't be produced from Aons. The Aons themselves are older than this language, as shown by the fact that they're based on the land. This also implies that the meaning of Aons in the language is inherent. {{wob ref|2173}} Brandon never fully developed that alphabet, but it is similar to the Korean writing system [[wikipedia: Hangul|Hangul]].{{wob ref|820}}<!-- previous {{cite}} tage here mentioned "a google signing from the Shadows of self tour," but I didn't find anything like that mentioning Hangul -->
*A person taken by the [[Shaod]] most likely discovered the language through trial and error, and then associating a meaning and sound for each one based on what each Aon did. {{wob ref|2173}}
* Aon Ela appears on the cover of the 10th Anniversary leather-bound edition of ''Elantris''.
* In [[Tress of the Emerald Sea]], one of the paintings by [[Howard Lyon]] shows [[Hoid]] casting [[Aon#Edo|Aon Edo]], using [[Aon#Daa|Aon Daa]] as a modifier, though this is not stated in the text itself.{{file ref|BattleOfWits.jpg|Battle of Wits}}
* Although never stated by the text, a painting by [[Howard Lyon]] depicts [[Riina]] as trying to cast the [[Aon#Shao|Aon Shao]] on [[Tress]]. This Aon is about transformation and also uses illusion magic, indicating that the Sorceress was planning to have [[Tress]]'s curse revolve around an illusion or transformation.{{file ref|BattleOfWits.jpg|Battle of Wits}}
*There are most likely undiscovered Aons. {{wob ref|2173}}
