Your Ultimate Guide to The Languages of Star Wars

Languages of Star Wars: Darth Vader extends his left arm, screaming "No!" on Cloud City after his duel with Luke Skywalker

A franchise that began in 1977, Star Wars has grown immensely since then, into almost every form of media available. But one thing that has remained fairly constant are the languages of Star Wars, which are both intricate and numerous.

Indeed, you could fill dozens of articles about fictional languages in popular media just on those used in the Star War universe.

Interestingly, however, unlike other franchises (think J. R. R. Tolkein’s Hobit trilogy, the Star Trek or Game of Thrones franchises) who wholly make up their own languages, Star Wars borrow heavily from or blatantly use less well known or endangered languages like Quechua and Haya for their in-universe language!
