During the development of Paramount+'s ''Halo'' adaptation, [[343 Industries]] consulted with language expert David Peterson to examine the Elites' mandibles and facial structure and then produce a more robust and complete Sangheili language that reflected their actual physiology.

Working with those parameters, Buck and Peterson | The creative choices in the language's phonology were guided by the producers and showrunners who desired Sangheili to sound alien and have a word structure similar to Japanese. Working with those parameters, Buck and Peterson also incorporated various concepts of warrior culture into the language, ensuring it reflected the species' martial ethos. One such example is the Sangheili salutation ''"Hait'u ga k'utkho"'', a greeting and parting phrase which translates to "Fight with strength / Fight well."{{Ref/Reuse|Id=YTpod}} | ||
