The Jawa Trade language was a language used by the citizens of Tatooine to communicate with the native Jawas to trade and barter.
It was a simplified form of Jawaese that Jawas themselves had accepted to use when dealing with non-Jawas. However, Jawa Trade language did not include the pheromonally-produced emphasis that appears in Jawa language. One word is "Utinni" which is a shout of astonishment or surprise.
