Kipsang Rotich
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
Kipsang Rotich was an African student who voiced Nien Nunb in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. He used his native tongue of Haya as if it were Sullustese.[source?] He was not credited in the movie.
Furthermore, it was noted that when Rotich had read the lines for Nien Nunb, they translated (in another language) into "One thousand herds of elephants are standing on my foot".[source?]
But not all of Nien Nunb's lines are in the Haya language, which is not spoken in Kenya but rather neighboring Tanzania. The very first thing he says before the attack is in the native tongue of Kenya's biggest tribe, the Kikuyu, and it translates to "All of you over there, come here." By his surname, Rotich is from the Kipsigis subtribe of Kenya's Kalenjin tribe in the Great Rift Valley -- where the Kipsigis live alongside Kikuyus and would therefore be likely to speak Kikuyu as well as their own unrelated tribal tongue.[source?] He did many lines in Haya, because no one thought anyone would understand it,[source?] but they did.[source?]
