Alien language is a generic term used to describe a language originating from an alien species. The study of such a language has been termed Xenolinguistics, though alternative terminology such as Exolinguistics has found its way into use through the medium of science-fiction. The first use of the term "xenolinguistics" in science fiction occurred in 1986, in the novel "TRIAD" by Sheila Finch.

  • Alien language is a generic term used to describe a language originating from an alien species. The study of such a language has been termed Xenolinguistics, though alternative terminology such as Exolinguistics has found its way into use through the medium of science-fiction. The first use of the term "xenolinguistics" in science fiction occurred in 1986, in the novel "TRIAD" by Sheila Finch. The nature and form of such languages remains purely speculative because projects in the field of the Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence, have until now not yet detected signatures of intelligent life in the Galaxy or beyond. The SETI effort is coordinated by the International Astronautical Academy (IAA), more in particular by the Permanent Study Group SETI (PSGS) of the Academy. However, the possibility of future contact with intelligent extraterrestrial life makes the question of the structure(s) and form(s) of alien languages a somewhat credible topic for scientific and philosophical discussion. In addition to creating academic debate, the potential nature of an alien languages has also been tackled by science fiction writers, with some creating fictional languages for their characters to use, and others circumventing the problem by writing in translation devices or by creating a universal language that all involved species can speak. In a few cases the problem of communication with aliens has played a large part in a science fiction plot.
  • El Lenguaje extraterrestre es un término genérico utilizado para describir un idioma originario de una raza alienígena. El estudio de tal lengua se ha denominado xenolinguistica, aunque la terminología alternativa, como exolinguistica y astrolinguistica se han encontrado y se han llevado a la práctica en las novelas y películas de ciencia ficción.
  • Il termine linguaggio alieno si riferisce a qualsiasi forma di linguaggio che potrebbe essere utilizzato da ipotetiche forme di vita extraterrestri. Lo studio di tali linguaggi è stato denominato xenolinguistica o astrolinguistica. Generazioni di autori di fantascienza si sono confrontati col problema dei linguaggi alieni; alcuni hanno creato lingue artificiali per i propri personaggi, altri invece hanno eluso il problema introducendo speciali dispositivi per la traduzione o altre tecnologie fantastiche. Sebbene la questione dei linguaggi alieni rimanga per lo più limitata alla fantascienza, la possibile esistenza di forme di vita extraterrestri intelligenti la rende oggetto credibile anche di speculazioni scientifiche e filosofiche.
  • 異星言語学（いせいげんごがく、英: exolinguistics, xenolinguistics）は、いわゆる宇宙人の言語を研究する言語学の部門である。英語ではexolinguisticsとxenolinguisticsという二名が（ex-は外、xeno-は異客の意）並存している。宇宙人（地球外生命体）が発見されていないため現在（21世紀初頭）のところ空想の領域ではあるが、他の文明へのメッセージは数学や物理学といった全宇宙に共通の定理を基礎にしたものが用いられるだろうと考えられ、そうしたメッセージの捜索が続けられている。また、地球側からもそのようなメッセージが何度か発信されている。
