Uniqueness Odonien is the language spoken by the Odonans, an alien race I have introduced in "Star Trek" fan fiction stories I have written. When creating the language, I tried to intentionally violate as many of the "language universals" as possible in order to produce a more "alien" language. Language Sources No other languages inspired Odonien, since it was intended as an alien language, but Odonien has inspired some other languages I have created.
