This language was used by the witches known as Daughters of Allya, on the planet Dathomir. The Shaman Talzin and the Sisters of her coven often used it at the time of the Clone Wars.

HistoryEdit

At the time of the Clone Wars, many Dathomirian witches usually spoke Basic, the most prevalent idiom in the galaxy. They would rely nonetheless on another language when chanting their spells and incantations.^[1][2][3] Years later, when he came to Dathomir in 8 ABY, Han Solo met a group of witches who included in a whuffa worm retrieving ritual. This group didn't seem to understand Basic ansd only spoke their own language.^[1]

According to the protocol droid C-3PO, the Dathomiri language had been influenced by Paecian. Words such as Wooka for "Wookiee", Jai for "Jedi" (described as "a male witch from the stars") had probably been imported into the Dathomiri language.^[1]

Known chantsEdit

Nightbrother warrior transformation spellEdit

This spell was used around 21 BBY, when Talzin transformed the Nightbrother Savage Opress into a hulking demon of the dark side.^[2]

Chant of ResurrectionEdit

The Chant of Resurrection was a spell that could temporarily resurrect the dead.^[3]

Spell of storm incantationEdit

This chant was used when performing the Spell of Storm, which conjured wind, from slight breezes to wild storms.^[1]

Behind the scenesEdit

This unidentified language first appeared in April 1994 in Dave Wolverton's The Courtship of Princess Leia, when the young Teneniel Djo unleashes a Spell of Storm on Luke Skywalker and Prince Isolder of Hapes.

Through retroactive continuity, though, the first real appearance of this language might be in the 1985 made-for-TV film Ewoks: The Battle for Endor. In this story, the witch Charal—who was later retconned into a Nightsister—was seen incanting over a crystal oscillator.^[4]

AppearancesEdit

• Star Wars: The Clone Wars – "Massacre"
• Ewoks: The Battle for Endor (Possible appearance) (Retcon)
