By 21506, humanity spoke only one language, which the Fifteenth Doctor described as "a bit like Cantonese". (TV: Space Babies [+]Loading...["Space Babies (TV story)"])

The language used the Traditional Chinese alphabet. Such terms were "表面重力" for gravity, "人口数量" for population and "表面温度" for temperature. The name of Pacifico Del Rio was "裏幻•杓西奇星㺷". (TV: Space Babies [+]Loading...["Space Babies (TV story)"])

  • The literal translations for the above terms are "surface gravity", "population count" and "surface temperature" respectively. The mavity joke does not exist in the Cantonese/Chinese translation.
