Yuuzhan Vong (language)

Yuuzhan Vong was the language spoken by the extragalactic Yuuzhan Vong species. It was a highly glottal language, and Basic speakers often thought of it as sounding like coughs and snarls. In the language, "peace" meant the same as "submission."

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.
