Jibber (species)

"Well, someone had fun with their name."

- Akak Shouja to a Human general after arriving on Jibber

The Jibbers were a short sentient species that inhabited the planet of Jibber, located in the Ylnas System. They were named by a pair of Old Republic explorers who discovered the planet. The species itself was not remarkable other than the fact that its fur was blue even though it lived in a green, forested environment.

Jibbers were tribe-oriented, and even after establishing a democracy over their population, the chieftains of the tribes served together on a Council of Elders that acted as a parliament for the government. Each tribe had a slightly different dialect, but the language as a whole was dubbed Jibberish by the Republic explorers.

History
The Jibbers were originally a short, green-skinned mammalian race whose cultural orientation leaned towards tribes.

Language
The tribes of Jibber had rarely had conflicts with each other, mostly because they kept to themselves, but as a result of their isolation, their dialects separated enough that it was difficult for the separate tribes to understand each other. After the Rakatan invasion, the tribes were forced to live together and their dialects grew back together. However, each tribe prided themselves on words that they used that other tribes did not, so the language never fully integrated itself back into one dialect.
