Massassi (language)

The Massassi language was an ancient tongue spoken by the Massassi, A primitive but Force sensitive species. It was abandoned for awhile in favor of the the Sith language.

This language used symbols though it did not always mean that one symbol stood for one letter like in Galactic Basic. This resulted in a wide range of possibilities to translate, often consuming time. Notable texts in that language included the Books of Massassi.

By 16 ABY, the Jedi Master Streen had completed translating sixteen tablets of the Books of Massassi. In 22 ABY, during their time at the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4, Jedi trainees Anakin Solo and Tahiri Veila had to translate ancient Massassi symbols so that they could find out how to break the curse of the Golden Globe which had been constructed by the Dark Lord Exar Kun for the sole purpose of imprisoning the children of the Massassi and draining their powers for his purposes.
