Futhark

Futhark was a form of writing based on ovals and circles. Used on the planet of Naboo as its formal alphabet for Basic.

Futhark was the formal written version of the Naboo language, and was derived from the Royal Script of Grizmallt. Since human colonists from Grizmallt settled on Naboo, the two scripts remained similar, although with some differences.

The system was used in a regal fashion on Naboo, but it was impractical for everyday use due to the similarity of all characters with each other. Futhork was developed separately, as a casual, informal writing. The Futhark continued to be used only in formal and military contexts. Features of Naboo spacecraft, such as the N-1 starfighter, had Futhark labels on consoles and the hull. However, since ship components were imported from other places, such as Nubia, labels and computer displays showed Aurebesh, with which the Naboo were familiar.

Random Futhark letters were displayed alongside unfamiliar symbols on either side of a restaurant menu in Galactic City.
