What's the 'secret language' in Fez, and can you learn it in-game? [duplicate]

I just started playing Fez for the first time, and I've heard there is a secret code that can be seen throughout the game.

I'd like to know what the codes are saying, but I'm leery of looking it up in case I can figure it out on my own. Also, I don't want to spoil things if the coded text is more of a spoiler/director's commentary sort of thing.

Can this code be learned as you make your way through the game, or is it something that has to be rigorously decoded/googled to understand? Also, is it better to leave it a mystery until the second play-through?

Thank you for not posting spoilers.

There are 3 codes in Fez. There is the numbers code, the letters code and a third code, which I won't say much about so that you can discover it yourself. The numbers code and the third code are required to finish the game, but the letters code (alphabet) is not, it just gives you access to some backstory. All 3 codes can be deciphered before starting a New Game+.

How do you solve language in Fez?

The key to deciphering the alphabet can be found in-game on a pillar which says "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" in Zu with a fox jumping over a dog in front of the podium. As this sentence uses every letter in the alphabet it is possible to decipher the entire alphabet from this.
