High Galactic
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
High Galactic was a language often used to show respect between members of the clergy and laymen. Sarcev Quest was fluent in High Galactic.
High Galactic was also used as the language of the Imperial court and elite, as most officers from prestigious families were familiar with High Galactic.
Additionally, the language was also an ancient language used by the Jedi order. An example of this usage would be many of the names of their lightsaber forms.
Example words included:
[edit] Behind the scenes
Although drawing parallels based on two words alone should be approached with caution, it may be that High Galactic is intended to evoke the use of Latin in the Catholic Church, with the words altered in a manner resembling the evolution of French from Latin. Filius and pater become fils and père, which bears a marked resemblance to fi and pera.
