Sith alphabet


The Sith alphabet was a script used to write ur-Kittât, the language of the Sith. The alphabet was composed of runes, and translating it was made illegal under Galactic Republic law.

Behind the scenes


The Sith alphabet first appeared in the 2019 sequel trilogy film, Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker, and was first identified as such in the 2020 reference book The Star Wars Book. In the film, the alphabet does not visibly match its previous depictions. In the accompanying reference book Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary, which was written by Pablo Hidalgo, the runes of the Blade of Ochi of Bestoon were identified as "Long-dead ur-Kittât "Old Tongue" runes of the Sith," possibly implying "ur-Kittât" is the name of the alphabet and "Old Tongue" is the name of the language. Subsequent sources identified ur-Kittât as a language.
