Ubese was the native language of the Ubese species from Ubertica, Uba III and Uba IV.^[1] It was a metallic language, well-adapted to the rarefied atmosphere of the home planet from which the nomadic Ubese came.^[2]

Ubese vocal cords could not produce sound above raspy whispers, making them difficult to understand when their voices weren't amplified. The Ubese also developed a sign language, Ubeninal, as an alternative to communicate with other Ubese. Ubeninal had no written form. Most Ubese were fluent in Ubese language, Ubeninal and Basic, although they were only literate in Ubese. Ubeses rarely chose to speak Basic.^[1]

When Leia Organa Solo disguised herself as Boushh and brought Chewbacca to Jabba Desilijic Tiure's palace, the Hutt himself temporarily left aside his principle of only speaking Huttese and he answered in Ubese, although it was stilted and slow.^[2]
