R'lyehian or Cthuvian/Cthulhuvian is the fictional alien language constructed by H. P. Lovecraft for use in his stories. The language is intended to represent the tongue spoken by the unearthly being Cthulhu and his spawn.

Form
The language is transliterated as gutturals.

Examples
The most famous example is ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn (said to mean "In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming").

Used in

 * The Call of Cthulhu - Lovecraft

Translations
Various fan translations for the above fragment and others are available.

Script
Two fonts are available online, titled Cthulhu Glyphs and Cthulhu Runes.
