Shyriiwook

Shyriiwook was a language of the Wookiees, others of which included Thykarann and Xaczik.^[1] The language consisted of growling and howls, and thus was difficult for anyone not a Wookiee to speak or learn and was also rough on their throat. It had over 150 words for wood.^[2]

Sabine Wren was capable of speaking of smattering of Shyriiwook, but lost her voice after annoying Garazeb Orrelios for a day, serenading him in Shyriiwook.^[3]

Han Solo was capable of understanding at least some of it, as he usually understood what Chewbacca was saying.^[4] Major Kalonia, who served as a physician in the Resistance, was fluent in Shyriiwook.^[5] Rey was able to learn Shyriiwook due to her interaction with offworlders on Jakku.^[5]
