Binary code: The base-2 number system. Occasionally known as the "language" of computers. However, it's not usually spoken. But when it is, it's this trope. It's usually used jokingly as robots "native" language. However, "binary" is not a language: Raw binary data has no meaning without a structure describing what it is. The "binary language" could be anything from "English text encoded in ASCII" to "Ideas, each attributed to a 16-bit number". Compare Speaks in Shout-Outs, where a character speaks almost exclusively in reference to other works. |

In a Dilbert strip, Dilbert is eating lunch with a nameless coworker. The coworker brags, "When I first started programming, we didn't have any of these sissy windows! We only had ones and zeros. And sometimes we didn't even have ones! I once programmed an entire database using only zeros!" Dilbert replies, "You had zeros? We had to use the letter O!" | |

Freefall: The robots, occasionally. A crowd scene includes a robot with a sign proclaiming that The End Is Nigh in binary ASCII. The robot version of lifting On Three involves counting "00000001 00000010 00000011." |

Quite a few SCP Foundation writers seem to be under the impression that binary is some kind of universal language, considering the number of SCP objects of alien or extradimensional origin with "messages in binary" in them. | |

In Red Dwarf, Kryten uses binary as droidspeak on occasion. In "Terrorform" he gives a very long set of binary as an "old droid saying" about not standing and blathering when you're in mortal peril. | |

In Warhammer 40,000, Tech Priests use binary as a secret language (although it's never been established if it's binary as we would know it), described as "twittering" sounds (whether this means they make modem sounds is up to the reader). Justified by the fact that all of them are at least part machine. | |

In Star Trek: The Motion Picture, when V'ger arrives at Earth, she starts sending a signal towards Earth, expecting a response from her Creator. As Spock observes, "A simple binary code, transmitted by carrier-wave signal. Radio." Kirk responds, "Radio?" | |

In an episode of ReBoot, when comedian Johnny O'Binome tells a joke in binary, the "binary joke" comes out to "Take my wife, please!" when translated into ASCII. In various other episodes, numbers are said in binary. For example, Turbo remarks that Matrix's age should be 11 (pronounced one one, or what would be 3 in base 10). Also, characters infected by super virus Daemon could be made to count backwards, in binary, disintegrating up on reaching 0. |

Pirate_Tinman speaks in binary because his actual voice is broken, as shown when he first booted up in Shadow of Israphel and also in "Sunshine of Israpony". This is used to call Lewis Brindley and Simon Lane idiots behind their back at some points. | |

Previously, in The Original Series once the Enterprise tried to contact the probe Nomad it replied in a binary code. Then it sends mathematical message requesting language equivalence, leading it to speak in English afterwards (which does not fit Aliens Speaking English since Nomad was made in Earth). | |

Played with in Chapter 2 of Deltarune. The cat-like opponent Tasque speaks in what looks like gibberish meowing, but their dialogues are actually written in binary, with every "me" representing a 0 and every "ow" representing a 1. These binary texts can be converted to UTF-8, as follows.note In Japanese, they instead use "ny" and "an" for 0 and 1 respectively; "nyan" is the Japanese onomatopoeia for meowing. The UTF-8 text also spell out "N", "Y", and "A". meowowme owowmeow: 01101101 ("m") meowowme meowmeow: 01100101 ("e") meowowme owowowow: 01101111 ("o") meowowow meowowow: 01110111 ("w") If you pet them, they'll say, "owowowmememeowme owmemeowowmemeow owmeowmemeowmeow": 11100010 10011001 10100101 ("♥", a heart symbol). |

In Futurama, Bender says a prayer in binary. He ends with "2". There's also the Time Code from Bender's Big Score, a long list of zeros and ones that is said like an incantation to send the speaker back in time. In "Godfellas", the galaxy that may or may not be God signals Bender in binary. Bender mentions that he only knows enough binary to ask where the bathroom is (which contradicts the above, but hey, Rule of Funny). Played for another joke in "The Honking", where during a stay in his late uncle's haunted castle, the passage "0101100101" appears in blood. When pressed on what it means, Bender correctly describes it as gibberish... but once he sees it in the mirror reflected as "1010011010", he freaks out and runs away screaming. That alone would constitute a gag, but it turns out the latter sequence is a real decimal: 666. |

If the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device: the Custodes reveal fairly early on that they have a "translator" device that allows them to speak in binary. When demonstrating its use, the binary output, if decoded, actually spoils several plot points. Later they use these devices when negotiating with with the Fabricator-General of the Adeptus Mechanicus in his "native" language... the output is delivered as song, with binary subtitles for the lyrics (which are written in l33tsp34k). | |

Elohim Eternal: The Babel Code: According to Idinite scripture, the Kosmocraters cursed the Cainites with the Code of Babel, which causes them to only speak in 1s and 0s. However, the Cainites eventually invented a new language out of binary. In reality, the curse is fake because several Cainites managed to learn the Idinite language. The Cainites also made a chip that can enable Idinites to instantly learn Cainite language after swallowing it, and it's implied Adam and Lot ate those chips in order to form their alliance with the Cainites. | |
