How to make dialogue sound alien

My friends and I are rewriting act 2 of Antigone for our English final and somehow settled on being British aliens... While writing, I focused more on the 'fancy' sounding British side rather than the alien stuff and now as I'm looking at our script, we're just British humans.

How exactly should we go about making our dialogue sound more alien? My friend keeps replacing letters with 'z' but his aggressive tone makes it sound more German than it does British, which means that as Creon, Ismene and I (Antigone) would also have to be British because they're related, and I don't want that. I try to look back at Zim for details but he's just Zim and I need more help. Please give me alien dialogue advice!!
