Tusken

This article is about the Tusken language. You may be looking for the Tusken Raiders, also known as Sand People, or Fort Tusken, or the island 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]
