The Romulan language was used within the Romulan Star Empire. Its written form consists of square and rectangular letters. (e.g., TNG: "The Mind's Eye", "Face of the Enemy"; DS9: "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges"; Star Trek Nemesis). The spoken language had three dialects, and was difficult to distinguish from the Vulcan language to those not proficient in xenolinguistics. It was also known as Rihannsu. (Star Trek).

Background[]

The Romulan alphabet developed from an alphabet called Kzhad created in about 1988 by Monte Thrasher, a designer and illustrator in Los Angeles, who also designed the Romulan Star Empire insignia seen in TNG. Monte based Kzhad on the shapes of LED displays. [citation needed]

The Rihannsu Romulan language was created by Diane Duane for use in her novels.
