I dont know how true some of this is, but I thought it was a pretty cool website. It contains examples of what are purported to be written alien
languages.
The problem with translating 'alien' writing is that we can only decode it using our Earthly intelligence. This means the glyphs, patterns and
construction must fit into what we know as "language". If it doesn't fit , we won't understand. That's why we had no idea how to read Egyptian
hieroglyphic until the Rosette Stone was found and we saw how they translated into known Greek, giving us a key.
Languages fall into four types:
Alphabetic - consisting of 20-30 symbols where each is a consonant or vowel
Syllabic - usually 50-60 symbols where each represents a consonant/vowel combination
Ideographic - usually 500-600 symbols where each represents an idea or word
Symbols - consisting of single and complex insignia types (like Semaphore)
