Digraphs

  • CHCherek/tʃ/
  • SHShen/ʃ/
  • THThesh/θ/
  • KHKrenth/x/

About Digraphs

What are digraphs?
Eight Aurebesh glyphs that each stand for a single sound written with two letters — like sh in “ship”, ch in “chair” or th in “thing”.
Do I have to use them?
No — they are optional shortcuts. The same word can always be written with the individual letters instead.
Why don't they show up in the word games?
Whether a letter pair is a digraph depends on pronunciation (“ring” uses Ng, but “ungainly” does not), so to avoid teaching wrong spellings the word games stick to single letters. You can practise the digraph glyphs on their own with the toggle in the Basics mode.
FAQ

Learn Aurebesh — Frequently Asked Questions

What is Aurebesh?

Aurebesh is the writing system used across the Star Wars galaxy to represent Galactic Basic — the language spoken in the films. Its alphabet maps closely to English, so each Aurebesh glyph stands for a letter you already know.

How do I learn Aurebesh?

The fastest way to learn Aurebesh is short, regular practice. Start with the Basics drill to recognise each glyph, then reinforce it with the games — Hacker, Memory Core, the daily riddle and live 1v1 duels. Aurebesh Academy turns memorising the alphabet into play.

How long does it take to learn the Aurebesh alphabet?

Most people recognise all 26 Aurebesh letters within a few days of casual practice, and read fluently within a couple of weeks. Because Aurebesh maps to the English alphabet, there is no new grammar to learn — just the glyphs.

How many letters does Aurebesh have?

Aurebesh has 26 letters and 10 digits, plus eight optional digraphs (Ch, Sh, Th, Kh, Ng, Oo, Ae, Eo) — single glyphs for common sound pairs.

Is Aurebesh Academy free?

Yes. Aurebesh Academy is completely free to play in your browser, on desktop or mobile — no account or download required.

What is the best way to memorise Aurebesh?

Spaced, active practice beats staring at a chart. The Basics mode targets your weak letters, Memory Core builds glyph-to-letter recall, and the daily riddle keeps the habit going — all proven ways to make the Aurebesh alphabet stick.

Can I learn Aurebesh on my phone?

Yes — Aurebesh Academy works in any modern mobile browser, so you can practise the Star Wars alphabet anywhere.
