Not to destroy this translator's use, but I've ran into an encounter that showed mantis have a language:

"A series of clicks and gurgles come from the communications.
The universal translator may be in blink, but the intention is clear."

It's not word-for-word, but it's the best I remember it.
I've only run into it once, however, so it could be sorta rare.
"There isn't good or bad. There's just insane."
"Blamsauce!"

Written and spoken languages don't have to have any correlation.

Just so you know, I've been using the Mantis Language for titling my video runs so people know whether or not Katatonik is making a video run or it's one of mine.

Do you think you could make a Rock language? If there's one already, I can't seem to find it.
