Don't let his height fool you, it's 90% prosthesis, he's still smol

WOAH! WAIT! Calm down let me explain- So when re-watching the show again I decided to pick up relearning Irken, I had quit before because I wasn't able to translate anything in the series. (Bc it was Fanon) So I went and looked for the alphabet again and found a post by "InvaderMax" on DeviantArt.

“My IZ DVD set has an "Extras" setting which allows you to have the episodes play with Irken subtitles.

I was bored today, so I turned on the subtitles and checked to see if the alphabet translator was correct. To my surprise, it wasn't (in comparison to the subtitles, anyway). That made me curious to see if the words were actually anything or just random symbols pasted on the screen. So as an excuse to watch a few episodes again, I took key sentences and copied the subtitles and wrote the meaning below them.

Whoever did the subtitles was very lazy. There were missing letters all over the place and many words didn't have spaces between them. But despite this it was clear that someone had typed it up in English very quickly using an Irken font." -Quoted from InvaderMax With the ground work they did And compiling letters and cross referencing episodes from "Backseat Drivers from Beyond the Stars" and onward. I was able to get the full canon Irken alphabet.

Since most of the "words" in Irken is Alphabet spamming (abcdefghi) I decoded most of it! Except for some reoccurring characters, which I believe to be numbers or special characters. But since, I doubt the original font they used on the show is still around, I have no way to figure out what is what. Especially since whoever did the subtitles on Max's DVD didn't think anyone would look this hard into it, or had an incomplete font; they didn't include numbers.

Lil bit eepy with the tism god bless
