The Standard Galactic Alphabet, created by Tom Hall, is a writing system used throughout the Commander Keen series. It is a simple substitution cypher, where each letter in the Latin alphabet has been substituted with a different symbol.
The SGA can be used to write in different languages; however, in the games the SGA is used to write messages in the English language only.

Here is an easy to follow guide to the Standard Galactic Alphabet.

The Standard Galactic Alphabet was also incorporated into Minecraft in October 2011, when it became used for Enchantments. The enchantment name translated as a meaningless sentence, and had little to do with the resulting enchantment.
