Before the release of ''[[Halo 2]]'', the official website at [[Halo2.com]] was [[Halo2.com (Covenant)|made to look like a Covenant computer]] complete with the Sangheili language. This language was a simple cipher with the triangular characters. In addition to Halo2.com, a released wallpaper contained triangular characters that made use of this cipher. After the Halo2.com site, the cipher changed. Two wallpapers were released with an entirely new cipher still using the triangular characters. Neither this cipher or the previous one have been used subsequently, though the triangular characters are still commonly used. | Before the release of ''[[Halo 2]]'', the official website at [[Halo2.com]] was [[Halo2.com (Covenant)|made to look like a Covenant computer]] complete with the Sangheili language.

The languages in their original form are heard in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. In ''Halo 2'', their words are translated for the convenience of the player. Elites in ''Halo: CE'' spoke a deep, warbling tongue. This was achieved by reversing the voice acting of [[David Scully]]. The ever-popular "Wort, wort, wort!" shouted by many Elites during gameplay is actually [[Sergeant Johnson]]’s famous "Go, go, go!" reversed and sped up.<ref name="gogogo">[http://forums.bungie.org/halo/archive5.pl?read=105659 EliteSpeak]</ref> The hissing-like language of the Jackals is actually the English language reversed. This, and the other Covenant languages ([[Yanme'e|Drones]], [[Mgalekgolo|Hunters]]), have remained the same since ''Halo 2''. | The languages in their original form are heard in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''.
