Gurongi language

The is the language spoken by the Gurongi race in Kamen Rider Kuuga, mainly spoken verbally.
==Overview==
During Kuuga's original Japanese run, every line is spoken in the Gurongi's native language was left unsubtitled, without any hints as to what exactly they were talking about; as a result, fan sites attempted to decipher the language with success. The main mysteries in the early parts of the series include the reason for the Gurongi's attacks and why they escape without resistance. In their native-language lines, the Gurongi actually address all of those mysteries even in those early episodes, which is why their dialogue was left unsubtitled.
Japanese-language subtitles for the Gurongi's lines were included when the show was released on DVD and re-released on Blu-ray and during rebroadcasts on the Toei Channel and YouTube Page as well as in English language subtitles on Shout! Factory TV's website.
Furthermore, when the Gurongi reappeared in Kamen Rider Decade, the Gurongi dialogue was subtitled in Japanese.
==Foundation==
Being a cipher of the Japanese language, Gurongi basically uses the consonants of that language. However, there are instances where one Gurongi syllable could mean any of several Japanese syllables, so reverse translation through context is required.

===Example===
*してやる!
*:Koroshite yaru!
*::I'll kill you!
becomes:
*ボソギデジャス!
*:Bosogide jasu!
*::Ll'i llik uoy!
*いしたな?
*:Inochi biroi shita na?
*::What a narrow escape!
becomes:
*ギボヂ・ヂソギ・ギダ・バ?
*:Giboji jisogi gida ba?
*::Tahw a worran epacse!
Whenever there's a sokuon "っ" (a small "tsu") in front of a syllable, the corresponding syllable in Gurongi is repeated. The same thing occurs when the vowel of a syllable is a long vowel.
*ずっと
*:zutto
*::always
becomes:
*ズドド
*:zudodo
*::syawla
*カウンター
*:kauntā
*::[a] counter
*バグンダダ
*:bagundada
*::retnuoc
The interpunct character "・" can be used to separate words for readability.
*おのいがリントをったのだ。
*:Omae no nioi ga Rinto-domo o sasotta noda.
*::You smell like a Rinto.
becomes...
*ゴラゲン・ビゴギグ・リント・ゾロゾ・ ガゴダダボザ。
*:Gorage'n bigogigu Rinto zoro'zo gagodada boza.
*::Uoy llems ekil a Rinto.
Japanese language particles have specific syllables assigned to them.
がga 	とto 	のno 	はwa 	をo 	よyo 	もmo 	にni 	でde
グgu 	ドdo 	ンn 	パpa 	ゾzo 	レre 	ロro 	ビbi 	グgu
In the English subtitles of the official Kuuga episodes on YouTube, every word in the Gurongi dialogues is spelled backwards.
:Is that Kuuga's belt? => Si taht Kuuga' tleb?
==Grammar==
Mostly the same as in Japanese. However, for cases where a word has strong significance, said word are transferred to the end of the sentence, turning it "upside-down".
*これはクウガのベルと!?
*:Kore wa Kuuga no beruto!?
*::[Is] this Kuuga's belt?
becomes:
*ボセパ・デスドン・クウガ!?
*:Bose'pa besudo'n Kuuga!?
*::Si taht Kuuga' tleb?
==Specific vocabulary==
In the middle of the series, most of the Gurongi are capable of speaking Japanese; when they are using Japanese in conversation, they still continue to use Gurongi on some single words. Such single words are related to the killing game.
*Rinto (リント) Human - they are the descendants of the Rinto.
*Gegel  (ゲゲル) : Game (Geemu [ゲーム])
**Gerizagivazu Gegel (ゲリザギバス・ゲゲル) : Semifinal Game (Semifainaru Geemu [セミファイナルゲーム])

*Zagivazu Gegel (ザギバス・ゲゲル) : Final Game (Fainaru Geemu (ファイナルゲーム))
==Number system==
The numeric scale the Gurongi use has 9 numbers (Base 9 or Nonary numeral system). Anything beyond 10 uses an accompanying numeral, additionally calculated using the conjunction [do (ド)] and subtracted using the conjunction [gu (グ)]
The language only uses additional (+) and multiplying (×) operations; subtraction (-) and division (÷) do not exist.
Every numeral figure uses the English numeral.
