No, I distinkly remember, all the aliens back then spoke Basic. It was not until Star Trek that they all spoke English. Then the authors started all trying to be different, but that is another fairy tale.

Why not just teach them Basic (sometime called Basic English)? 850 English words that you can do 90% of your needed communication with and be understood by any English speaker. Learn the whole damn thing in a week. Been around since the 30's. Too damn simple, I guess. Back in the 50's it was the lingua franca of science fiction fame.


I thought that was Intergalactic. Anyone seen "I, robot" yet? Do they use the punctuation?
