Origins
Saurian is a ficitional language created by Nintendo for the video game Star Fox: Adventures on the Nintendo Game Cube home console. It is spoken on the planet Sauria, which is inhabited by dinosaurs.The Language
Saurian is a substitution cryptogram of English. All the vowels remain vowels, and all the consonants remain consonants. This is an attempt to make the words pronouncable. There is no "y" in the Saurian language. The letters translate as follows:English <-> Saurian
A <-> U
B <-> R
C <-> S
D <-> T
E <-> O
F <-> V
G <-> W
H <-> X
I <-> A
J <-> Z
K <-> B
L <-> C
M <-> M

Grammar
The gramatical structure of Saurian is identical to that of English. Also, one should remember that proper names are always written in English, along with any titles that go with them. For example:English: "No one can defeat General Scales!"
Incorrect Saurian: "De edo sud tovouk Wodohuc Jsucoj!"
Correct Saurian: "De edo sud tovouk General Scales!"
However, if the title is not followed by a name, it is translated. For example:
English: "No one can defeat our general!"
Incorrect Saurian: "De edo sud tovouk eih general!"
Correct Saurian: "De edo sud tovouk eih wodohuc!"
