A trade agreement written in Tellaran.
Tellaran (also known as Tellarite) is the language of the Tellarite civilization.
By the 24th century, Tellaran language is a second year elective course at Starfleet Academy. (FASA RPG module: Star Trek: The Next Generation Officer's Manual)
Due to the large number of Starfleet encounters with Tellarites beginning in the 22nd century, when the Tellarites joined the Coalition of Planets and then the Federation, many members of Starfleet are schooled in spoken Tellarite. Notable personnel with instruction in this language included in their service records include Hikaru Sulu. (FASA RPG module: Cadet's Orientation Sourcebook)
