Dosh

Bossk's signature.

"Res Luk Ra'auf."

―Bossk

"Dosh" was short for Trandoshan and was the official language of the Trandoshan species from Trandosha. It was composed mainly of harsh grunts, hisses and growls, and had a written form that used alphabetic glyphs.

Most Trandoshans were fluent in both Dosh and Basic, also being literate in both languages.
