Tusken
Tusken was the language spoken by the Sand People of Tatooine. It was considered very primitive; to the untrained ear, it sounded like shrieking and hollering. It also included many grunts, growls and honking noises used as punctuations. However, it was really a complex language, and people from other species found it very difficult to learn.[1] Properly speaking in Tusken required a good amount of phlegm.[2]
Tusken language had no written form, relying instead only in oral tradition. The language consisted mostly of consonants.[1]
Non-native speakers of Tusken included the droids HK-47[3] and DC-GNK.[4]
