Actress [[Wikipedia:Charlie Murphy (actress)|Charlie Murphy]] learned to speak Sangheili for her role as [[Makee]] on the show and was noted to have done a phenomenal job capturing the emphasis, pitch and pronunciations of the alien language.{{Ref/YouTube|Id=S101|bnJ0Y4So_Cc|Halo The Series|Learn To Speak Sangheili|Y=2023|M=8|D=28}}

Peterson posts transcripts for the words and their translations on his [https://wiki.languageinvention.com/index.php?title=Sangheili_language language wiki], as well as in a series of posts on ''Archive of Our Own'', accessible [https://archiveofourown.org/series/2828287 here].

==About==
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. Peterson, in turn, reached out to the conlanging community and recruited military veteran Carl Buck to assist in creating the Sangheili language that would be utilized among the species of the [[Covenant]].{{Ref/Site|Id=Debrief|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/silver-debrief-unmasked|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Silver Debrief: Unmasked|D=12|M=3|Y=2024}}{{Ref/YouTube|Id=YTpod|aXwFu792B6s|Conlangery|Carl Buck on Conlanging for Halo|Y=2024|M=6|D=11}}

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 infused 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}}

{{Listen|title=Carl Buck - "Wort, wort, wort!"
|filename=HTVlang_Wort.mp3
}} 
Building on the cultural aspects of the Sangheili race, Peterson and Buck also incorporated metaphorical elements pertaining to the species' distinct physical features and their reptile-like ancestry. They integrated the aliens' unique hinged mandibles into the grammar to convey different levels of certainty. Within the mindset of the Sangheili, utilizing their upper mandible signifies certainty, while using their lower mandible expresses uncertainty.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=YTpod}}

The language they devised for the series drew minimally from past ''Halo'' material and video games as previous dialogue crafted for Covenant speak was primarily gibberish.{{Ref/Site|Id=Imeimei|URL=https://dedalvs.tumblr.com/post/741879670666100736/re-inspiration-not-really-it-was-all-gibberish|Site=Tumblr|Page=Dedalvs|Quote=Inspiration, not really. It was all gibberish. Specifically, for the later games, they’d just throw the lines into Google Translate, translate them to Japanese, reverse them, and have the voice actors read it. This is rather common for video games.|D=12|M=3|Y=2024}} For instance the word "''domo''" for "human" and the negative "''eya''" come directly from the latter games. The games' famous word "''wort''" for "go" did not fit phonologically and was altered to "''warut'o.''"

==Overview==
Sangheili, the language featured in the show, is an [[Wikipedia:Ergative–absolutive alignment|ergative-absolutive language]] spoken by the [[Sangheili]] warrior race, commonly referred to as Elites, as well as generally inside the [[Covenant]], an alien alliance that worships the Halo Array. The language is a lightly inflectional head-final language with distinctive vowel length and ejectives.

In the tradition of his other constructed languages, Peterson crafted the language by laying the groundwork with a proto-language known as Proto-Sangheili. This ancient Elite language evolved organically, undergoing both phonological and grammatical changes, eventually giving rise to the modern Sangheili language spoken within the Covenant empire.

Sangheili uses Standard American Romanization. Ejective consonants are written with a following apostrophe, and the r is the tap [ɾ]. The language has long vowels, represented by a doubled vowel, and occasionally has geminates, also written doubly. Likely the most challenging aspect of the phonology are the consonants with a velar release. These are written as if they began with a consonant cluster, but they occur at every point of articulation—namely, pkh [pˣ], tkh [tˣ], kkh [kˣ], and qkh [qˣ], and even the fricative (or fricative-ending) consonants skh [sˣ], shkh [ʃˣ], and chkh [tʃˣ]

* Diphthongs: ai (like the ''y'' in ''sky''), au (like the ''ow'' in ''how'''), ei (like the ''a'' in ''gate'')

* /e/ and /o/ are always short, but the other vowels may be short or long. Long vowels are indicated by doubling the vowel symbol.

* Proto-Sangheili also had a phonemic /ɢ/, but it merged with /ɣ/.

* Sequences of ejectives are not allowed, when one occurs, the second ejective is deglottalized.

* Certain sounds that are found in proper names among the Sangheili, which are not part of Sangheili phonology, are treated as approximations resulting from human attempts at Latinizing these names. Because there are no [f], [θ], or [v] sounds in the language, names like [[Thel 'Vadamee]], [[Var 'Gatanai]], and [[Fal 'Chavamee]] are English approximations of ''T'elo Badami'', ''Baro Gat'anai'', and ''P'alo Chabami'', respectively, in Sangheili.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://archiveofourown.org/works/37951303/chapters/105183123#workskin|Site=Archive of Our Own|Page=Conlang Dialogue: Chapter 6|D=17|M=06|Y=2024}}{{Ref/Twitter|Dedalvs|1511104056244154368|David J.

Peterson|Quote=B, I’m that case.|D=6|M=04|Y=2022}}

===Phonotactics===
Most of Sangheili's syllables are open, only three codas are allowed: /n/, /ŋ/ and /s/. /n/ has the allophones [ɲ] before palatals and [ɴ] before uvulars. Syllables may never start with consonant clusters.

===Stress===
Stress falls on the penultimate syllable if it is heavier than the antepenultimate, otherwise it falls on the antepenultimate. Secondary stress is placed on every other syllable radiating outward from the syllable with main stress. The final syllable never attracts stress, regardless of length.


==Proposed Sangheili orthography==
The Covenant script that is featured briefly in the show consists of triangular glyphs, visuals directly taken from the Halo franchise, yet remains nonsensical. Early into their project, David J. Peterson and Carl Buck proposed the creation of a writing script for the series, presenting a crafted sample that envisions a cohesive Sangheili writing system to complement the language they developed. Their conceptualization involved acknowledging the unique phonetics of Sangheili and led them to design an abugida, a script centered around syllables as the foundational unit, similar to Tibetan script.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=YTpod}} Each syllabic glyph would contain a base consonant with the potential for vowel modifications and additional diacritics to indicate coda consonants when necessary.

==Grammar and Morphology==
===<u>Syntax</u>===
Sangheili generally follows SOV (subject-object-verb) word order akin to Japanese and Latin:

::'''<u>K'uucho o</u> <sub>1</sub> domo <sub>2</sub> ruuk'inatan <sub>3</sub>''' — ''"<u>the warrior</u> <sub>1</sub> attacked <sub>3</sub> the human <sub>2</sub>"''

In content questions, question words appear in situ (the default or expected position within a sentence):

::'''K'e o <u>gha</u> ts'aachi?''' — ''"<u>what</u> have you done?"''

Subjects of transitive verbs are marked by the postposition ''"o"'', while subjects of intransitive verbs and objects of transitive verbs remain unmarked.

::'''<u>K'uucho o</u> domo ruuk'inatan''' — ''"<u>the warrior</u> attacked the human"''
:::*K'uucho is followed by ''o'' because it's the warrior that caused the attack on the human. Domo, the recipient in the sentence, gets no mark.

::'''<u>K'uucho</u> mejayatan''' — ''"<u>the warrior</u> is ready"''
:::*K'uucho is unmarked because there is no direct object affected by the warrior's action of getting prepared.

Nouns are preceded by adjectives, possessors, and relative clauses, while main clauses come after dependent clauses. Creating relative clauses is achieved by positioning their verb before the noun or relative pronoun they modify.

::'''K'aidon k'uucho o domo ruuk'inatan''' — ''"the kaidon warrior attacked the human"''

:→ '''Domo <u>ruuk'inatan</u> k'uucho''' — ''"the warrior <u>who attacked</u> the human"''

:→ '''K'uucho o <u>ruuk'inatan</u> domo''' — ''"the human <u>whom</u> the warrior <u>attacked</u>"''


===<u>Head-directionality</u>===
Sangheili is a head-final language, meaning everything comes first while the main head verb (the most important component of a phrase that determines the type of phrase) is relegated to the very end, hence ''head-final''.

:English:

::'''<u>I won't let</u> you take the holy relic.'''

:English (''head-final''):

::'''You holy relic take <u>I will-not-allow</u>.'''

:Sangheili:

::'''K'e o qkhado kheluuga ch'imo <u>jan o t'iswaqkhijaga</u>.'''


===<u>Pronouns</u>===
Sangheili has an inclusive / exclusive distinction in its first-person plural pronouns for "we, us" ("Riin" for  <u>''you and us''</u> and "Jaari" for  <u>''us and not you''</u>).  The Sangheili language also recognizes both animate and inanimate entities, but the third-person singular pronoun "Mu" makes no gender distinction between "he" (masculine) and "she" (feminine), acting neutral as "it, itself, they".

===<u>Case Particles / Postpositions</u>===
These case particles are placed after a noun to indicate the role they play in a sentence. The ergative and absolutive are grammatical. The vocative case is used for direct address, while the rest pertain to locative functions. Nouns in Sangheili otherwise do not change form to indicate their grammatical role.{{Ref/Twitter|Dedalvs|1511090947278311427|David J.

In contrast to English, which has dedicated possessive pronouns ("my," "your," "his," "her") and a possessive ('s), Sangheili lacks dedicated possessive cases for nouns, instead using other cases for possession depending on the nature of the possessive relationship.{{Ref/Twitter|Dedalvs|1511093172432109568|David J.

''Examples'':

*''K'uucho <span style="color:yellow">oni</span></div> zhuro'' - would be “the warrior’s weapon” or better yet "the weapon <span style="color:yellow">TO</span></div> the warrior". This would presumably mean the weapon is one the warrior owns.

*''K'uucho <span style="color:yellow">ni</span></div> zhuro'' - would also be “the warrior’s weapon” or better yet "the weapon <span style="color:yellow">ON</span></div> the warrior". This would imply the weapon nearby is one the warrior just picked up or happened to have.

*''K'uucho <span style="color:yellow">oni</span></div> nejo <span style="color:orange">ga</span></div> zhuro'' - "the weapon <span style="color:orange">FROM</span></div> the father <span style="color:yellow">TO</span></div> the warrior". This would indicate that the warrior has their father's weapon.

*''K'uucho <span style="color:yellow">me</span></div> ik'o'' - "the warrior's eye(s)" or "the eye(s) <span style="color:yellow">IN</span></div> the warrior". This suggests the warrior still has theirs.

*''K'uucho <span style="color:yellow">ba</span></div> ik'o'' - "the warrior's eye(s)" or rather "the eye(s) <span style="color:yellow">OUT OF</span></div> the warrior". This suggests the warrior has regrettably lost theirs.

Similarly to the [[Wikipedia:Siouan languages|Siouan]] or [[Wikipedia:Uto-Aztecan languages|Uto-Aztecan languages]] of the North and Middle Americas, Sangheili has instrumental prefixes that can transform verb bases into entirely new verbs.{{Ref/Twitter|Dedalvs|1511100010951110656|David J. Peterson|Quote=The other big table up there has less to do with grammar than the lexicon. The instrumental prefixes are used to derive new verbs from verb bases. It’s a little like how we have verbs like “deduce”, “produce”, “induce”, “adduce”, etc.|D=6|M=04|Y=2022}} The following 12 prefixes are routinely used to form a range of derivations.

{| class="wikitable"

|}

*Suffixes also play a role in forming additional derivations in verbs. A common suffix, '''-jo''', is utilized for forming agent nouns (e.g. teach''-er'', visit''-ors'').

::*'''Maaro''' (seek) → '''maarojo''' (search team, searchers)

::*'''Moq'aara''' (have faith) → '''moq'aajo''' (zealots)


*Another suffix, '''-t'u''' (or '''-tu'''), is employed to create nominalizations.

::*'''Ts'aha''' (be at) → '''ts'ahat'u''' (presence)

::*'''Hai''' (be able / have ability) → '''hait'u''' (strength, might)


*The suffix '''-q'u''' (or '''-qu''') in Sangheili means "to make," "cause to be," "render," or "become." It transforms regular verbs into causative verbs, indicating an action that causes something to happen or come into being.

::*'''T'iya''' (to live) → '''t'iyaq'u''' (to bring to life, cause to manifest)

::*'''Ruq'ota''' (to burn) → '''ruq'otaq'u''' (to burn something, to incinerate)

::*'''Oq'o''' (be honorable) → '''oq'oqu''' (to render honor to something or someone)


===<u>Verb Tenses</u>===
Sangheili has 8 tenses, but the meanings of those tenses vary depending on whether the verb is stative or dynamic.{{Ref/Twitter|Dedalvs|1511096373633970183|David J. Peterson|Quote=#Sangheili has 8 tenses, but the meanings of those tenses vary depending on whether the verb is stative or dynamic.|D=6|M=04|Y=2022}}

* Every Sangheili verb has a reduplicated form, which may occasionally deviate from regular patterns, yet remains somewhat foreseeable.

* Verbs in both the indicative and interrogative modes have positive and negative forms as well.

|}

''Example questions'':
* ''Ghashank'o. Mu sachahe?'' — The demon. He's sure?
* ''K'e sachahe, Hirajo?'' — Are you certain, Blessed One?
* ''Ikhi k'e o ch'anik'ojahe?'' — Do you see now?
* ''Q'a riin ni tkha jayetanjahe?'' — But it did not make its way back to us?
* ''Juukhojo ine ga waawotkhijahe?'' — This is what the prophets fear?


===<u>Copular constructions</u>===
Sangheili generally uses zero-copula constructions, meaning the copular verb "to be" (and its forms: am, is, are, was) is often dropped from sentences when the meaning is understood from the context.

::* ''K'uucho haala.'' — The warrior is strong. ("The warrior strong")

::* ''Ne bekkhajo riin o maamaro gha.'' — This creature is what we seek. ("This creature what we seek")

::* ''Ine ii zap'atu.'' — This was no victory. ("This not victory")

However, Sangheili does have a locative copula, <u>ts'aha</u> (to be at):

::* ''Maamaro gha ogha ni <u>ts'aha</u>''. — "What we seek <u>is</u> close."

::* ''Ghaamos riin nis <u>ts'aha</u>?'' — "Why <u>are</u> we here?"


===<u>Question words</u>===

|-align="center"
! Negative (indicating absence)
| ii - ''no, not''|| colspan=2 | ngajo - ''none, no one''|| ngamaas - ''no way, nowhere''

A poem was crafted for the series inspired by the [[Ballad of Kel 'Darsam]] in [[Joseph Staten]]'s short novel, ''[[Halo: Shadow of Intent]]''. In the show, this ballad is sung as a Sangheili war chant. The line ''"K'iis o aamu ni mu maaroji"'' can be heard in [[Transcendence]], the ninth and final episode of the first season. {{Ref/Site|Id=SDT|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/silver-debrief-transcendence|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Silver Debrief: Transcendence|D=22|M=08|Y=2023}} The following are only the first eight lines of a lengthier poem.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://archiveofourown.org/works/37951303?view_full_work=true|Site=Archive of Our Own|Page=Conlang Dialogue: The Ballad of Kel Darsam|D=17|M=06|Y=2024}}

|Born of woman, fathered by Deity, Kel ‘Darsam was a pillar of piety,
|Dzana bojo ba, aamu nejo ba, K’elo Daasamu moq’aaji, ch’anaani,
|-
|Brave and noble, strong and wise, he sought only justice and no other prize,
|Dzima ze oq’o, haala ze khoya, gaibaat’u ba q’a bak’ontu maaroji,
|-
|He battled with monsters, slew terrible beasts, to make his lands safe and to guarantee peace,
|Mu o ghashank’o dzuk’uuchi, matkhaji; tkhaati’ni baat’u, dzukhunt’u waqkho’ni,
|-
|But jealous were others, who envied his grace, a rival Kaidon sought his rival’s disgrace,
|Q’a k’unjo’ mu’m ch’apkhaat’u ghamaaziji, K’aidon o mu juutkhoma maaroji,
|-
|But a cowardly fighter, disgraced and defeated, took aim at the two as they finally retreated,
|Q’a juutkhaat’u ba nuju k’uucho o muuri ni welekkhosa ni dzushkhaatan,
|-
|Kel ‘Darsam fell, spear in his back, down to the rocks where the waves did crack,
|Mu ni baan me luk’a o K’elo Daasamu mogha ni gakha oni ts’aatan,
|-
|But as Kel was falling, the sun was arising, the first rays of Urs halted ‘Darsam’s demising,
|K’elo ni ts’aha ni has o ruuekhi tkhazhi Daasamu ba q’ii pkhadatan,
|-
|The light found him godly with noble intention, and embraced him as kin and confirmed his ascension.
|K’iis o aamu ni mu maaroji, tkhazhi tkha o tkhet’a oni mu juuch’iitan.
