This image is a representation of all of the letters and numbers of Jawaese as well as the primary punctuation marker, the exclamation marker. The first 26 characters are directly translatable to Basic (A-Z). The characters that follow are also directly translatable to Basic (0-6, 8 and 9). The last character is directly translatable to Basic as '!'. Jawaese does not have a number 7 like other languages tend to have.
The Jawa Trade Language is a variant of the Jawa language. Because Jawas used scents in their language that were not able to be distinguishable for non-Jawa traders, Jawas invented a spoken and written version that did not require scents. This language is widely accepted by Jawas as the easiest way to communicate verbally with non-Jawas. Jawas lack the ability to speak Basic and many other languages without assistance.
The language has been both useful for trading with Jawas and the cause of numerous jokes about Jawas. It is complicated for some races to learn, but as easy as directly translating words for other races.
