| rdfs:comment | - The main modern language, referred to in Bajoran as Bajor'la, was a simplified version of the Old High Bajoran, or Bajor'ara, spoken by the Bajora people in ancient times. In the 10th century CE, the Bajora developed Bajor'la to communicate with their conquests. By modern times Bajor'la had completely replaced Old High Bajoran except among the Bajoran religion's clergy. (Bait and Switch: "A Changed World") Several regional dialects of Bajor'la existed, and native speakers could identify each other's homelands by their pronunciation. (The War of the Masters: "Remembrance of the Fallen")
- Bajoran writing was said to be ideographic, that was, each character represented a single thought or word pictured. Most forms of written Bajoran shared some root ideograms, as evidenced by the Reckoning Tablet. Each ancient Bajoran symbol translated into a pair of nearly identical modern Bajoran symbols. (DS9: "The Reckoning") Bajoran books are opened from left to right, though it is not clear that this is related to the direction of writing. (DS9: "The Changing Face of Evil").
- The Bajoran language is the language spoken by the Bajoran people. The language is used in prayer, wedding ceremonies, death ceremonies and other events. (DS9 episodes: "Battle Lines", "Shakaar", "Accession", "Call to Arms") The Book of the Kosst Amojan was written in ancient Bajoran. To release the Pah-wraith from the Fire Caves, one had to chant the words in the language. (DS9 episode: "What You Leave Behind") After Bajor joined the United Federation of Planets in 2376, Federation Standard was added beside the Bajoran language on signposting.
