Sith (language)

The Sith language was the native language of the people of Ziost and Korriban. It was later expanded upon and evolved when the second generation of Dark Jedi split from the Jedi Order in 7,000 BBY, just after the Battle of Corbos. Even after the majority of Sith were of other species other than Sith species, the language was preserved in Sith holocrons, temples, and tomes.

Individuals as modern as Vergere, Dr'uun Unnh, and Jerec spoke it. The members of the Lost Tribe of Sith also managed to preserve the knowledge of the language, and all members from apprentices and higher knew it. For example, Vestara Khai was able to use it to communicate with a pack of Tuk'ata on Korriban. There is a possibility that the Sith Lord Darth Nihilus spoke this language, as his speech sounds verbally identical to the voices within Sith Holocrons.

Written forms
The Sith language was originally written in complex hieroglyphics. Later, two different scripts developed: on for mundane, everyday use (Common Sith) and another for ecclesiastical use (High Sith). The latter consisted of hooked and barbed runes. A third unidentified writing system was also used for incantation scrolls.
