Ryl

Ryl was the native language of the Twi'leks.

History In addition to Ryl, Twi'leks were also fluent in Lekku language, a silent form of communication using gestures made purely with the lekku. Only Twi'leks could express themselves this way, and few other species could understand them readily. Lekku was ideal for private conversation between Twi'leks in crowded areas. Jedi Master Kit Fisto was one of the few non-Twi'leks to fully master Lekku.

Twi'leks were usually trilingual (in Ryl, Lekku, and Basic) and bi-literate (in Ryl and Basic - Lekku had no written form). Many Twi'leks also learned to speak Huttese.
