Namek language

From Dragon Ball Wiki, the ''Dragon Ball'' encyclopedia

Namek language is a fictional language spoken by Nameks, individuals native to the planet of the same name. Only "Piccolo" and "Porunga" have been defined in the Dragon Ball manga; other words appear as filler material in episodes of Dragon Ball Z. In Dragon Ball Piccolo and Kami speak the Namek language to each other during the 23rd World Tournament; Though their actual words are translated, Namekian letters appear on the screen. In a later filler episode, when Goku and Chi-Chi discover a large rock that's actually a map of how to make the Bancho Fan, with the instructions written in similar letters.
