Shyriiwook

"It isn't an easy language to learn, what with all the growls and howls. Big Z told me the whole point was to make it difficult for outsiders to understand."

- Mission Vao

Shyriiwook was a language spoken by the Wookiees. Translated into Galactic Basic Standard, the name meant "tongue of the tree people"&mdash;this referenced the tall trees of Kashyyyk, the Wookiee homeworld. Although Shyriiwook was not the only language spoken by Wookiees, most non-Wookiees who could understand Wookiees did so by understanding Shyriiwook.
