Gunganese


Gunganese, also known as Gungan or Old Gungan, was the native language of the Gungans, an amphibious species from Naboo. In practice, the Gungans often used a pidgin tongue that combined Galactic Basic Standard with Gunganese words and speech patterns. Although stereotyped as exclusively using the pidgin, some Gungans, like Aro N'cookaala, spoke perfect Basic.

Examples


  • Heyo Dalee ("Hello")
  • Mackineek ("Droid")
  • Flasher (Blaster)

Behind the scenes


In Star Wars Legends sources, the term "Gunganese" was applied to the Gungan-accented pidgin Basic rather than the native Gungan language, which in turn was referred to as "Old Gungan."
