| The [[Covenant]] has their own unique language, which is heard in [[Halo: Combat Evolved]]. In [[Halo 2]], their words are translated for the convenience of the player. Elites in Halo 1 spoke a deep, warbling tongue. This was achieved by playing in reverse the voice acting of [[David Scully]]. The ever popular "Wort wort wort!" shouted by many Elites during gameplay is actually "Go go go!" reversed.

| [[Conversations from the Universe]] contains letters written by the [[Prophets]] of [[Prophet of Truth|Truth]] and [[Prophet of Supposition|Supposition]]. The writing in these letters resembles English, with various alterations.

| Before the release of Halo 2, the official website was made to look like a Covenant computer complete with a Covenant language. This language was a simple cipher with characters made from triangular shapes.
| |
| | |
| Text, or writing, in the Covenant appears to be mostly triangle shapes and composed almost completely of equilateral triangles, except for a single shape so far. It has been noted that this form of text was used by both [[Brutes]] and [[Jackals]] in Halo: Uprising Issue #1 so far. Whether all of the species that are or were in the Covenant use this form of text is currently unknown.
