  • In 2151, Hoshi Sato noted that the frequency distortions of the symbiotic lifeform found aboard Enterprise NX-01 looked a lot like the phonetic patterns in certain Andorian dialects. (ENT: "Vox Sola") In 2154, Ambassador Soval told Shran that his name would be used in the Andorian language as the word for fool in the future just as "Nirak", a Vulcan who failed to stop an invasion, meant the same word in the Vulcan language. (ENT: "Kir'Shara")
  • The Andorian language was a family of extant and extinct languages used by the Andorian species. Andorians hailing from different regions of Andoria used different native tongues and naming conventions, although the government of the Andorian Empire favored Imperial Andorii (along with Federation Standard) as its lingua franca.

abstract
  • The Andorian language was a family of extant and extinct languages used by the Andorian species. Andorians hailing from different regions of Andoria used different native tongues and naming conventions, although the government of the Andorian Empire favored Imperial Andorii (along with Federation Standard) as its lingua franca. This explanation is given in the official Star Trek: Enterprise continuation novels for the contradiction between the canonically established name Thy'lek Shran and the Andorian naming conventions established in the post-Star Trek: Deep Space Nine novels. "Thy'lek Shran" is the Aenar translation of his name in his native culture, while "Hravishran th'Zoarhi" is his name in Imperial Andorii.
  • In 2151, Hoshi Sato noted that the frequency distortions of the symbiotic lifeform found aboard Enterprise NX-01 looked a lot like the phonetic patterns in certain Andorian dialects. (ENT: "Vox Sola") In 2154, Ambassador Soval told Shran that his name would be used in the Andorian language as the word for fool in the future just as "Nirak", a Vulcan who failed to stop an invasion, meant the same word in the Vulcan language. (ENT: "Kir'Shara") In 2155, six of the universal translators malfunctioned during the Coalition of Planets conference and started confusing Andorian language with Rigelian. (ENT: "Terra Prime") In 2287, while in the observation room of the USS Enterprise-A, Sybok explained to Captain James T. Kirk that there were many different names for God in different cultures. As Sybok explained, the name for God in the Andorian language was apparently unpronounceable. (Star Trek V: The Final Frontier)
