6 Film and TV Languages You Can Actually Speak

Just in case you didn't think George Lucas didn't get a Star Wars sound designer to devote his blood, sweat, and tears into creating a completely rounded language for a giant lecherous slug, I'm here to remind you that he did. Ben Burrt is the hero we need, but don't deserve right now.

Based on the ancient Incan dialect Quechua, Jabba the Hutt is speaking perfect Huttese at any given point, the same as the rest of his species based on Tatooine and those that bothered to take the elective at space school: C-3PO, Anakin Skywalker, and Watto included. Relatively simple for the voice actor to pick up, the team didn't stop there when it came to creating even more ostensibly real alien languages.

Return of the Jedi also saw the Ewoks speak Tagalog and Kalmuck from the Philippines and Mongolia, and Lando's buddy Nien Nunb speaks unchanged Gikuyu, an African language spoken in Kenya and Tanzania. Apparently, Kenyan audiences loved this so much that they cheered every line of dialogue spoken by him.
