Gungan (language)

Gungan or Gunganese, was a dialect of the Basic language that was spoken and written by the Gungans of the planet Naboo. It was distinguished by speech patterns and certain phrases that were specific to the Gungans. It was mostly derived from the Naboo settlers' language, Basic, spoken in an accent. Occasionally, a word from Old Gungan would appear in dialogue, a term usually without any obvious meaning unless translated.

Humans could usually understand it and, similarly, Gungans could understand Humans speaking Basic (even in written form). Most one-syllable words pertaining to the self would contain a suffix of -sa, for example, "We-sa" and "You-sa". Many one-syllable words ending in a consonant would end with -u.
