There are, within the Great Book of Gummi, four languages used -- if you can catch them all in the show. Below is a visual look at the differences and, in some cases, intriguing similarities to some languages we know.

Example 1: Olde Gummi This is the root language of all Gummi Bears and is a bit of a dead language. Like Latin for humans, only scholars and possibly alchemists and scientists and magicians know and use Olde Gummi. With only one exception (the kitsuneko), this language is not used to speak with at all anymore. In LIGHT MAKES RIGHT, however, you can still see that the Ancient Gummies do use Olde Gummi as well as High Gummi language. Example 2: Common Gummi This large blocky lettering style arose as a disguise primarily but was so easy to say and write that it was adopted as the common language later on. With the warring of humans encroaching on gummies, and their inevitable flight away from human civilization, gummies needed a way to communicate while hidden. If any communiques were intercepted, humans who only knew of Olde Gummi would not realize the words or letters were from the elusive and 'mythological' gummi bears. Smart:) Example 3: High Gummi This is a less complex version of Olde Gummi combined with more modern elements of style and form. High Gummi is used in very large cities and is taught in the schools around such places. High Gummi would seem a type of cursive script to humans but it actually has its own language, too, though being based off Olde Gummi there are many similar words. Example 4: Human Language True enough, in the Great Book exists the human language, too. I do not know why at this time. Perhaps, once, or sometime in the future, human and gummi cooperation is not just a dream? The Big Question... Take a look at this comparison. What do you see? Could Tolkien fans have actually worked on DISNEY'S ADVENTURES OF THE GUMMI BEARS? Hm..... *wink*
