History

Manga

Only the words Piccolo and Polunga were defined in the Dragon Ball manga.

Filler

Piccolo and Kami (as Shen) spoke Namekian to each other at the 23rd Tenkaichi Tournament in the Dragon Ball anime. Though their actual words were translated, Namekian letters appeared on the screen.Considering Piccolo didn't know of his Namekian heritage until the Saiyan Saga, it is unknown how they did so. In a later filler episode, Son Goku and Son Chichi discovered a large rock that was actually a map of how to make the Basho Fan with instructions written in similar letters. Other words appeared in episodes of Dragon Ball Z.
