| '''Digon''' was an ancient dialect of the [[Forerunner]] language.<ref name="c59">'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 59''</ref> By the final millennia of Forerunner civilization, this dialect was used almost exclusively by the [[Warrior-Servant]]s and yet later only their highest class, the [[Promethean]]s,{{Ref/Reuse|c59}}<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 227''</ref> in contrast to [[Jagon]], a newer language which was mainly spoken by the [[Builder]]s.{{Ref/Site|Id=CryptumGlossary|URL=http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/intel/related/text/cryptum-glossary/62e29c59-a3f9-4b63-af76-def71fda5459|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Cryptum Glossary|D=14|M=03|Y=2014|LocalArchive=Halo: Cryptum/Glossary}} | |

The dialect reached its peak around 400,000 BCE, three hundred thousand years before the end of Forerunner rule in the galaxy.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', '' page 133''</ref> However, not even the earliest forms of Digon were in use by [[10,000,000 BCE]] when the Forerunners [[Forerunner-Precursor war|rebelled against]] the [[Precursor]]s.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''page 179''</ref>
