A fictional writing system from the Star Wars franchise.
Aurebesh was a writing system commonly used to represent the Basic language used across the known galaxy in the Star Wars saga. The name came from a combination of the first two letters, Aurek and Besh.
Aurebesh implemented consonants, vowels, digraphs, and punctuation marks. Words were separated by spaces. Aurebesh could be written mainly left-to-right or up-to-down. All letters are the same relative size, although occasionally symbols were mirror-inverted to denote capital letters. The symbol for the Republic Credit was a Resh (R for Republic) with two vertical lines through the upper half of the symbol. Letters of the alphabet were also used to denote musical keys, such as the key of Cresh.
