Varrkenese

Varrkenese, sometimes misnamed Yus'avon, was a language used by both the Varrken and Yus'avon species. Some Humans believed that Galactic Basic was developed from it, since you were able to clearly translate each lanugage.

Translation
The difference between Galactic Basic Standard and Varrkenese was one very big difference: written form. Their was another difference. If you took each word in Varrkenese, flipped it around, and wrote it in Basic, you'd get the actual Galactic Basic word.

Example

 * "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." = Basic
 * "Eht kciuq nworb xof spmuj revo eht yzal god." = Varrkenese

Pronouncing Certain Letters
There were some drawbacks to being a human not fluent in Varrkenese. Translating y's and two consonants (i.e., funny = ynnuf, or death = htaed).
 * Y's: For translating a y at the beginning of a Varrkenese word, you would instead pronounce "yee" in place of the y. As such, if you were translating a y at the end of a Varrkenese word (like ouy [you]), you would instead pronounce a quick "yah" (as in Ooh-yah [ouy]).
 * Dual consonants or more: If you have two consonants at the beginning of a Varrkenese word (like htaed), you would pronounce a long i in the middle of the first two consonants (like hit-aed [or for thought, tih-guoht]).

Writing in Varrkenese
To write in Varrkenese, you would take the words and flip them around. The transmission at the right can be translated into: "Noissimsnart 742-EA: Ris, ruo secrof evah degagne eht ymene. Fi ouy evig eht dnammoc, ew nac kaerb rieht sedacirrab. Ris, ew deen taht dnammoc. Morf: Niatpac Semaj," which also translates into: "Transmission AE-247: Sir, our forces have engaged the enemy. If you give the command, we can break their barricades. Sir, we need that command. From: Captain James".
 * Correct flipping: My name is Earl. = Ym eman si Lrae.
 * Incorrect flipping: My name is Earl. = .lraE si eman yM

Varrkenese Alphabet
The Varrkenese alphabet was a very confusing one. To distinguish capitals, the Varrken took a lowercase version of the letter, and rotated it 180 degrees. So, a sentence wouldn't be "i ma lareneg neehs," in Varrkenese, but instead be "I ma Lareneg Neehs."

Behind the Scenes

 * Both the Varrkenese and Leykiia written languages are working fonts that Koops created.
 * The Varrkenese font is based off the "Slasher" font.
