Now, before you say this is a duplicate question by just reading the title, this one is a tad different. Where do the names of the droids come from, from which language?
They clearly are from the English alphabet (e.g. C-3PO or R2-D2), and are pronounced as such (well the general language used does sound the same as English, for that matter). But it is stated in Wookieepedia here that the language spoken by humans is Basic, which uses the Aurebesh alphabet and looks like this:
So you can clearly see the English alphabet matched up with parts of the Basic language.
My question is:
Does this imply that the language we hear in the movies is actually what Basic sounds like, and the image just describes the letters of the Basic alphabet? Why then, are the droid names pronounced with the sounds of the letters of the English alphabet? Or are we actually hearing a "dubbed" version of the movie, that Basic sounds much different, but the movies were done in English to make it easier to watch? Is there any canon description pertaining to this, or out-of-universe description?
Update: found this question which does answer where the letters come from, but what does the language actually sound like then?
