STARWARS Question:

those little guys on tatooine (who tried to steal the robots R2D2 and 3CPO-what sort of language did they speak?) Was their speech just speeded-up human speech (like the chipmunks)?

Jawas spoke their own language…Jawanese? So you won’t be able to decypher “Utinni!” by slowing it down. It does appear there was some slight electronic modulation, but in general they sound like Munchkins on crack.

Actually, I think it was a Zulu dialect that was sped up.

They just said what language it was in the commentary on the DVD’s. If you don’t mind waiting I can find out tonight after class.

Well shut my mouth. But at least it wasn’t sped up so much that it was unrecognizable. I’d still like a translation on “utinni” then so I’ll know whether I’m offending anyone when I yell it.
