Massassi language
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
The Massassi language was an ancient tongue spoken by the Massassi, a primitive but Force-sensitive species. It was briefly replaced in use by the Sith language.
This Massassi writing system used symbols, though each symbol did not always stand for one letter as it did in the aurebesh or alternate Basic alphabet. This resulted in a wide range of time-consuming possibilities when translating. Notable texts in the language included the Books of Massassi.
By 16 ABY, the Jedi Master Streen had completed translating sixteen tablets of the Books of Massassi. In 22 ABY, during their time at the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4, Jedi trainees Anakin Solo and Tahiri Veila translated ancient Massassi symbols to learn how to break the curse of the Golden Globe which had been constructed by the Dark Lord Exar Kun in order to imprison the children of the Massassi and drain their powers for his purposes.
