Aurebesh was a writing system commonly used to represent the Basic language. The name came from a combination of the first two letters, Aurek and Besh.
Aurebesh implemented consonants, vowels, digraphs, and punctuation marks. Words were separated by spaces. Aurebesh could be written mainly left-to-right or up-to-down. All letters are the same relative size, although occasionally symbols were mirror-inverted to denote capital letters. The symbol for the RepublicCredit was a Resh (R for Republic) with two vertical lines through the upper half of the symbol. Letters of the alphabet were also used to denote musical keys, such as the key of Cresh.
During The Phantom Menace, when Anakin Skywalker is flying an N-1 Starfighter in the Battle of Naboo, a screen reads "ANAKIN, TURN THE SHIP AROUND AND GO BACK HOME RIGHT AWAY." This is presumably a message to Anakin from R2-D2. It occurs just before Anakin's line, "Go back? Qui-Gon told me to stay in this cockpit, so that's what I'm going to do."
In Attack of the Clones, Aurebesh can be seen on the walls of the buildings of Coruscant as the bounty hunter Jango Fett flies away after killing his assassin associate Zam Wesell. One of the walls can be translated as saying "WARREN."
In the 2004 DVD release of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, the words displaying information as Obi-Wan Kenobi deactivates the tractor beam on the Death Star I, which were written using the Roman alphabet in previous releases, are now in the Aurebesh. Note that this particular instance was the only scene in the movie to clearly show Roman letters (though highly observant viewers note that a needle on an IT-Ointerrogation droid in an earlier scene is marked "British Made").
In Return of the Jedi, Aurebesh is seen on the monitors of the Death Star II control center, when Darth Vader's shuttle is about to land. These graphics predate the West End Games description of Aurebesh, and produce gibberish if those letter assignments are used.
In "Duel of the Droids", when Rex discovers the Separatistbattlesphere, the display reads "ZOOM IN". SKYTOP STATION". The rest of the text, as well as R2-D2's data screen is gibberish. The mirror-inverted text on the data display when Gha Nachkt arrives at Skytop Station is also gibberish, except for the words "ZOOM IN".
In "Jedi Crash", a starship display reads "IMPACT!" and a medical display reads "STAND BY FOR PROGNOSIS".[7] When the ship is preparing to jump to hyperspace, a small screen says "HYPERDRIVE ONLINE". The T-series tactical droid has the letter Trill (T) on its chest and head.

Another headstone has the name "MAX" inscribed, and a third one says "JOE" (with a three letter name or word over it; the letters are faded, so only the second letter, Wesk (W), can be read). Clone Commander CC-0411's helmet reads "SOME GUYS HAVE ALL THE LUCK".[12] A Separatist display says "TACTICAL VEHICLE ANALYSIS" and "ADDITIONAL TACTICAL VEHICLE ANALYSIS".

In "Senate Spy", the take-out food Anakin carries is labeled "WAR M FOOD"[written like that] on the side, and "SUSHI" on the top. The screen on the holographic projector in Lott Dod's library says "LOCK", and also shows a long text, most of which is difficult to read because of the small letters.
In "Landing at Point Rain", there are several Republic gunships with unique nose art. Obi-Wan Kenobi's ship has a painted illustration of a nexu, with the phrase "BAD KITTY" written on it in Aurebesh. Ki-Adi-Mundi's gunship has a skull-faced clone trooper helmet painted on it, with the phrase "SEPARATIST NIGHTMARE".[15] Another ship shows a clone trooper holding a large scythe, accompanied by the text "GRIM REAPER". In addition, the Spaceward Ho! and the Lucky Lekku make a re-appearance.

When the unidentified Death Watch assassin throws the thermal detonator, a billboard behind him says "LULCATKE" - "AN EXHIBITION".

The Aurebesh-like writing that appears in the original trilogy is totally random and it is believed that the filmmakers did not intend to write any meaningful text with it. The assignment of the letters to Roman equivalents was first developed by Stephen Crane at West End Games in the Star Wars Miniatures Battles Companion (1994), for use with the Star Wars Miniatures Battles game and Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game. The Aurebesh was later expanded to include punctuation marks in the Star Wars Miniatures Battles supplement, Imperial Entanglements (1996).
This original Aurebesh is occasionally used in electronic and board games such as Star Wars Monopoly. Since the letters in the movies are random, the assignment of the West End Games-values to the inscriptions of the movies produces nonsensical results–-most words seen in the movies appear to consist solely of consonants, and some letters appear on screen that are absent from the West End Games Aurebesh.
In the prequel trilogy and in Special Edition releases of the original trilogy, the inscriptions use the West End Games mapping, and can be transcribed to English.
Many of the PhoenicianAlphabet letter names were probably used for inspiration (or just used) for the Aurebesh letter names. E.g. Beth, Daleth, etc. provided one style of consonants while letters like Resh provided whole letter names. Some symbols also bear resemblance to the Phoenician symbols i.e. Gimel, Daledh, Waw and Lamedh.
The word "Aurebesh" was developed in a manner similar to the word Alphabet, which is derived from the first two letters of the Phoenician/Greek alphabet (Alpha and Beta).
In-universe sources show Arabic numbers; however, one of the fan-made fonts (discussed below) presents a numerical system based on dots and lines.
It should be noted that in many instances, the sounds "ch", "sh", and "th" are written using Aurebesh exactly as they would be in English (cresh-herf, senth-herf, and trill-herf, respectively), despite that separate letters exist in Aurebesh for those sounds (cherek, shen, and thesh, respectively). (To see an example of this, examine the text in the picture in the upper right of this page.) While it is possible that these instances represent legitimate in-universe variations of the sound-values for the letters in question, it is more likely that they represent errors on the part of the real-world transliterators (who are understandably more used to employing digraphs than employing single letters to write these sounds).
Note: none of the available fonts use reverse glyphs for capital letters.
Aurabesh (TrueType) Created by Mike E. Webb on February 10, 1996. As only the alphabet had been described, Webb based his punctuation on work by Eric Kristiansen (aka Jackill), and invented glyphs for other common symbols. He also made the lowercase letters small versions of the capitals.
Aurebesh (Mac TrueType/PostScript and PC TrueType) Created by David Occhino on September 8, 1997. Occhino updated the punctuation to match West End Games, removed the non-canon symbols (except for the Arabic numerals), and made the lower case letters the same size as the capitals. He also changed the assignments of the digraphs, so it is not backwards compatible with Webb's font.
newAurabesh (TrueType) Created by Peter Schuster on June 21, 1998. Schuster also updated the punctuation to match West End Games, removed the non-canon symbols, and made the lower case letters the same size as the capitals. He changed the numbers to match Technical Readouts, and changed the assignments of the digraphs, so it is not backwards compatible with either Webb's or Occhino's fonts.
Aurek-Besh (TrueType, standard, narrow, and hand-written) Created by Davide Canavero (aka Boba Fonts) on March 7, 1999. Canavero made small improvements to the rendering of many of the symbols, enlarged the numbers for clarity, and added more logical assignments for the digraphs while also keeping Schuster's assignments. As a result, Aurek-Besh is backwards compatible with newAurabesh.
