I missed something here, how do we know what Latin letters those Wakandan letters correspond to? Is that some actual alphabet, or a made up one for the movie?

Heir T'Chaka sounds like plays on the name of the brand Air Jordan. That's the pun. It's not more complicated than that guys.

Man OP's explanation is way more complicated than it needs to be, it took me a minute to decipher what the fuck he was trying to say.

Edit: Edited because people were being super pedantic about my use of 'sounds like' as referring to similarity.
