We've just discovered real proof that in the first leaked diagram, the 4th letter of the first word is in fact C, and not D. Everyone could see it looked like a C, but Cont. Throw Stone didn't make any sense. That was until we realised that the title of the image, view6ProgessSTC.png, contains an initialism for the title of the diagram. STC stands for Stone Throw Cont., cont. clearly being an abbreviation for something (current theories are contraption or container), which also explains the full stop.

i've only ever known cont to be an abbreviation for 'continue'. Seems odd they wouldn't actually write container. Thats just me though.

The language uses 38 symbols, including its own numerals, and is based off of English. They don't use accent marks, and "don't really" use digraphs. There is no distinction between lowercase or captial letters and we have been told that all letters are capital. In atleast one message, the associates' language has translated to English through simple substitution, and there is no reason to believe it doesn't always. They insist that any resemblence to runic symbols is purely coincidental. The associates use their language when they write messages to each other, but speak English when communicating with the public, and use English numerals to sign their names.

These are the symbols we know in no particular order, as well as the substitutions that we are aware have worked atleast once.

They've also used the symbols *, *, *, * and *, but it is not certain if these are counted as part of the 38 symbols.

It is speculated that symbol 24 (*) substitutes to M.

Additionally, they used the symbol *, which might be altogether different to *, or some kind of punctuation like an apostrophe.
