Belter Creole(lang belta), aka Belter is a constructed language created by Nick Farmer for The Expanse sci-fi book and TV series. It was made as an English creole, but its lexical base has features of Romance languages, Germanic languages and Slavic languages, as well as languages like Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Hebrew and Zulu.
Phonology
Orthography
Although all of Belter Creole's appearances have been written in the Latin script, Farmer claims that the language can be written in other writing systems as well.
