Savrip (language)

Savrip was the language of the Mantellian Savrips, an intelligent species native to Ord Mantell.

It was a difficult language, incomprehensible to other, more civilized species. The only way for a non-Savrip to learn this language was with the help of The Force.

Conversely, only rare Savrips have ever bothered to learn Basic, and even in those cases, they usually choose not to speak it.

Whenever a Savrip meets a newcomer, the Savrip roars frightenly as a challenge, with the roar as a part of their language. If the Savrip then consideres that the newcomer is a threat to him or his tribe, then the Savrip will charge to attack (Which led to many to believe that Savrips were non-sensitive animals). Notice that Jedis and other Force-users have shown the skill to calm temperamental Savrips.
