Revision as of 17:48, 9 May 2023

The Centauran language can be subdivided into two somewhat-distinct 'classes' or 'ages': Low (or Old) Centauran and High (or New) Centauran[1]. While the more modern language is widely used across Velestus and is coded into Federation Universal Translators, Low Centauran is a dated and unrepresented language, meaning it is not untranslated[1].

Early Human explorers of the region originally noted similarities between Low Centauran and the Greek language from Earth - leading some to even conjecture the Centauran people may be descendants of relocated Greeks[1]. However, further investigation revealed the similarity was coincidental.
