Halo species names
Across the Covenant and beyond it, the Halo universe gives every species its own linguistic fingerprint. This unofficial fan set covers Sangheili warriors with their honorific suffixes, Unggoy grunts, hulking Jiralhanae, and the ancient Forerunners whose ruins drive the story. The names suit fan fiction, machinima casts, multiplayer personas, and original military science fiction that needs alien cultures with consistent sounds.
