The Namekian language is a fictional language spoken by Namekians, individuals native to Planet Namek.

OverviewEdit

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 Namekian language to each other during the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament; although their actual words are translated, Namekian letters appear on the screen.

Later, in a filler episode, when Goku and Chi-Chi discover a large rock (that's actually a map of how to make the Bansho Fan), the instructions are written in similar letters.

DefinitionsEdit
