=== Apocrypha ===
According to the non-canon DS9 novel Abyss, the novel This Gray Spirit and the Paradigm novella in Worlds of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the primary spoken language of the Andorians was called "Andorii." An Andorian language glossary is available at the back of the latter novel. The current novel-universe also uses a different naming convention for Andorian characters.
The Star Trek RPG supplement Among the Clans from Last Unicorn Games, on the other hand, claims the primary language was called "Graalek"; this looks very different from the written language seen on screen, consisting of curved horizontal lines and circles, though this can be explained as two different languages used on the planet. This alphabet appears on some of the banners at the Interspecies Medical Exchange conference in . Among the Clans attempted to explain the Andor/Andoria inconsistency by claiming that in Andorian, "Andor" merely means "World", but adding "-IA" (Andoria) promotes a word to prominence over other words.
