	The writing system originally used to write Ikai Taa is largely undocumented, but was likely to be a logography. One character of the writing system, known as "mpipa", had a particular ability to make those who saw it say, ".h h?!". Today, Ikai Taa is more commonly written in romanization with influence from IPA, and some dialects use the [[Bonabéri Alphabet]].

	Ikai Taa is an attempt by the now-defunct [https://inferkit.com/ Inferkit] A.I. (IKAI) to generate text from a factual prompt about the real-world language [[wikipedia:Taa_language\|Taa (also known as !Xóõ)]]. [[Suqi]], who had the language generated, partially guided the process in order for the A.I. to explain some nonsensical phrases so that they could understand and complete the language themselves (which has not yet been done).
