The Kazon language was the spoken and written language of the Kazon.
The Kazon script was written in horizontal rows of layered overhanging blade-like shapes, sometimes connected across rows of text by dotted lines. In 2371, Captain Kathryn Janeway transported down a supply of drinking water to the Kazon-Ogla in vats with Kazon text on them. (VOY: "Caretaker")
Kazon text was also widely visible on the controls of Kazon raiders and in the architecture on Sobras. (VOY: "Maneuvers", "Investigations")
In the late 24th century, a Kazon slave trader spoke to Gwyn and Drednok in his native Kazon language, during which Gwyn acted as translator for Drednok, even though Drednok was himself capable of translating. (PRO: "Lost and Found")
