Barbidon Language

The language of the Barbidons is a modified version of the Universal Language. It was changed to accommodate the harshness of their culture. While they can still easily speak the Universal Language, they prefer this one when there are other races are not present. Interestingly, many of their letters are very similar to those in the Universal Language.
