Yuuzhan Vong (language)

Yuuzhan Vong was the language spoken by the extragalactic Yuuzhan Vong species. It was a highly gutteral language, and Basic speakers often thought of it as sounding like coughs and snarls.

Few Yuuzhan Vong learned to speak Basic (which they found rather "clicky") or other languages, preferring to use tizowyrms as translators.

The Deception Sect, the followers of Yun-Harla, had their own, private dialect used among themselves. It is unknown if the other sects had their own dialects as well.

According to C-3PO, Yuuzhan Vong was similar to Janguine.

Word Order
The most common word order in Yuuzhan Vong is Verb-Object-Subject, with Adverbs and Adjectives following the part of speach they modify.

Plurals
The plural form of a Yuuzhan vong noun is formed by adding -'o; Yun (god), Yun'o (gods)

Possesive
Singular ppossesives in Yuuzhan Vong are usually formed by affixing the item to the possesor; Yun'tchilat (God's will). Plural possesives take the ending -tu;   nom'o-tu tchilat (the enemies' will). Some Nouns, however, cannot have the possesive marker, and so the marker is affixed to the item possesed instead, using -te for items ending in t, and -tu for items ending in other letters; tchilatte Yun-Yuuzhan (Yun-Yuuzhan's will), or canbin-tu ro'ik (The enemy's fort). There is also a special respective prefix, Al', used with names and titles; Al'Shimrra (Shimrra's). Note that possisive pronouns have no special form, but always take a possesive suffix; Tiu-tu (mine).

The Verb To-be
Yuuzhan Vong, like Mando'a, often leaves out the verb to-be, so "The youths are enemies" could be said as "Yenagh'o sos nom'o", or "Yenagh'o nom'o". (Subjects precede the verb to-be)

Articles
There are no regular articles in Yuuzhan Vong, with the indefinate or definate form of the noun being derived from context. There is, however, an emphatic definite article tur; or the, which is used only for emphasis.
