Glimpse of me!

Here is a glimpse of my tattoo. It is obvious that I have a great love for my children and Star Wars. Just so you have an insight, all of my childrens' names begins with the letter "J." It works out perfectly because my daughter, who is my 2nd oldest, name fits perfectly in the middle, between her brother's names. I have been wanting a tattoo for the last couple of years but it has taken me this long to figure out what I wanted. I think when I started using this site and at the time allowed me to use "aurabesh" is where I got my inspiration.

Here's a little history about the language "Aurabesh." I hope you find it informative:

Aurebesh was a writing system commonly used to represent the Basic language. The name comes 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.

The origins, as well as the time it was implemented are not known. It existed at least as early as the Jedi Civil War and afterwards.

Prominent examples

* During The Phantom Menace, when Anakin Skywalker is flying an N-1 Starfighter in the Battle of Naboo, a screen reads "Anakin turn the ship around and go back home right away." This is presumably a message to Anakin from R2-D2. It occurs just before Anakin's line, "Go back? Qui-Gon told me to stay in this@#$%pit, so that's what I'm going to do."

* In the 2004 DVD release of A New Hope, the words displaying information as Obi-Wan Kenobi deactivates the tractor beam on the Death Star I, which were written using the Roman alphabet in previous releases, are now in the Aurebesh. Note that this particular instance was the only scene in the whole series to clearly show Roman letters (though highly observant viewers note that a needle on an IT-0 interrogation droid in an earlier scene is marked "Made in England").

* In Return of the Jedi, Aurebesh is seen on the monitors of the Death Star II control center, when Darth Vader's shuttle is about to land. These graphics predate the West End Games description of Aurebesh, and produce gibberish if those letter assignments are used.

* In the main screen menus of Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II and Star Wars: Republic Commando Aurebesh is shown.

* In Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, Kyle Katarn enters the three-letter communication code for Rogue Squadron in Aurebesh into the Doomgiver communication system. The code spells out "THX", an allusion to George Lucas's movie THX 1138, as well as to his sound-system company THX.
