Gungan Basic

Gungan Basic, also called Gunganese, was the language spoken by the Gungans of the planet Naboo. It was a language mostly derived from Naboo settlers' language, Basic, spoken in an accent. Occasionally, a word from Old Gungan would appear in dialogue, a term usually without any obvious meaning unless translated.

Humans could usually understand it and, similarly, Gungans could understand Humans speaking Basic (even in written form). Most one-syllable words pertaining to the self would contain a suffix of -sa, for example, "We-sa" and "You-sa". Many one-syllable words ending in a consonant would end with -u.

The verb to be
* You would use "my" if there was a verb after the "I am", such as "I am jumping" or "I am going". For "I am going", you wouldn't say "Mesa going". But you would say "My goen" because of this rule. (Also, the suffix -ing is replaced by -en. It's "goen", not "going".)

 * I am - Mesa (if followed by an adjective) or * My (if followed by another verb)

 * He is - Hesa
 * She is - Shesa
 * It is - Isa (pronounced "izzuh")
 * We are - Wesa
 * You (plural) are - Yousas
