Circular Gallifreyan - Time Turners of the T.A.R.D.I.S. Circular Gallifreyan is a standardized version of the written Gallifreyan language as seen in Doctor Who. It was standardized by a fan, so it is not officially sanctioned, but it looks terribly cool. You can read a guide to Gallifreyan online or just read The Honey Badger's guide below. Legal Note! If you're reading this guide, that's probably because you found the original guide a bit too confusing. Letters Consonants Consonants take one of four forms and are modified by one of five different designs. When writing out a word in Gallifreyan, it is done based on English spelling with the exception of the letter C and a few phonetic letters (CH, SH, TH NG). 'Cat' would be written as 'Ka T' (don't worry about that a, we'll get to vowels in a second)'Sauce' would be written as 'Sa U Se''Thing' is written as 'THi NG', not 'T Hi N G''Shale' is written as 'SHa Le' not 'S Ha Le''Change' is written as 'CHa N Ge' and not 'C Ha N Ge' Vowels Vowels are a bit trickier.
