Most uses of Monklish in ''Bloons Monkey City'' and ''Bloons TD 6'' appear to transcribe "th" digraphs as simply "T", such as "three" being transcribed as "TREE" and "thorns" being transcribed as "TORNS". Some Monklish writing in ''Bloons TD 6'' appears to be misspelled due to certain glyphs being very similar to each other, such as the Monklish characters for "D" and "U" being the inverse of each other. | |||

A language option for Monklish was added to ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'' in {{BTD6 version|33.0}}. It uses the same text as the English option, but it is displayed in a font that renders letters and exclamation/question marks in Monklish. Other punctuation marks and numbers are unaltered. Accented letters are rendered as their non-accented equivalents (e.g., [[Pouākai]] is rendered as "Pouakai"). | A language option for Monklish was added to ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'' in {{BTD6 version|33.0}}.

|"UNGRADE" seems to be a misspelling of "upgrade" due to the Monklish glyphs for "P" and "N" being very similar. "CQ" is likely short for "[[Cyber Quincy]]". | |||
