Hutt One, Hutt Two!
Huttese 101:
An Introduction
To those of us that are a bit more reality based, Huttese is not a real language but one designed by sound designer Ben Burtt. According to the Behind the Magic CD-Rom, Ben Burtt derived the Huttese language from the ancient Incan dialect, Quechua. He based many phrases on samples from a language exercise tape. I have found a site that gives lessons on Quechua and have found a few Quechua words used in the Star Wars saga. The first word is 'tuta.' In Episode I the phrase "Sebulba tuta Pixelito" is used meaning "Sebulba from Pixelito." The Quechua 'tuta' however used in this phrase: "Imarayku kunan tuta," means "For this night past." Another word is 'chawa.' "Neek me chawa wermo," said Sebulba: "Next time we race," but in Quechua, 'chawa' means 'uncooked.' And although 'tullpa' which means "cooking spot in a kitchen" is not an exact spelling of 'tolpa' (Tolpa da bunky dunko=Then you can go home) the pronunciation is identical. Thus we can gather that Quechua is not Huttese itself but it is a model Ben Burtt used for the style and sound of Huttese. According to some sources, the scene where Greedo encounters Han Solo at the cantina, Greedo actually says something akin to, "I love your big blue eyes."
I believe when Ben Burtt creates Huttese for the films, and when others create it for books and video games, that they try and use words that look and sound like words in our own language, to make this foreign language more familiar to us. For example, "outman" which means 'outlander' is a combination of the words 'out' and 'man' which are very familiar to us and puts in our mind the vision of a man that is from the outside, an 'outman' or 'outmian. Also, "poodoo" is a quite obvious play on the word 'poop' or 'doodoo.' Also the following words invoke in us a familiarity between English (or Basic in the Star Wars universe) and Huttese: "parchee" for 'parts', "tonta" for 'tentacles', "sleemo" for 'slime-ball', "blastoh" for 'weapon' ie. 'blaster' and so on with many other Huttese words.
George Lucas himself has contributed to the Huttese lexicon. For example the phrase "Bo shueda" was created by Lucas. (1) It shoud be noted that in Return of the Jedi dvd subtitles, the phrase is "Oohh shoodah." (23)
Ben Burtt says in the Return of the Jedi DVD commentary: "In Jedi, we had quite a bit of Huttese language to create. This was the language spoken by Jabba the Hutt and all the people in his palace. It starts out with this little eye-robot that pops out the door. And we use the talents of Larry Ward who was a linguist. He was an expert at speaking many different languages and he had helped me develop the Huttese language back on New Hope. In fact Larry had done the voice for Greedo, the bounty hunter. But Larry's biggest contribution to this film was by doing the voice of Jabba the Hutt. (23)
It is possible that Ben Burtt used more than Quechua as a basis for Huttese. On page 9 in the June 2003 issue of National Geographic magazine, there is a reference to the word 'achuta', which in Huttese means "Hello." However in Hindi, 'achuta' has a very different meaning:
"A fifth group describes the people who are achuta or untouchable. Untouchables are outcasts - people considered too impure, too polluted to rank as worthy beings." (6)
Another Earth language borrowed from seems to be Polish. Andrzej sends in this information: "I think you'll find it interesting to know that "toota mishka Jabba du Hutt?" is actually an only very slightly distorted sentence in Polish:"Tutaj mieszka Jabba du Hutt?" Meaning "Does Jabba du Hutt live here?"
History
For those of us who think Star Wars is real (like me), the Huttese language is taken from its namesake, the race that developed it, the Hutts. Originally from the planet Varl, Hutts colonized many other words such as Nal Hutta. Hutts have a distinct slug-like appearance and have no bones in their bodies. The Hutts are infamously known as gangsters that have a wide control of all sort of illegal activities such as smuggling and trade in the illegal substance glitterstim. The giant slug-like appearance of the Hutts only adds to their vileness.
It is not unknown for beings, especially travelers, to be fluent in many different languages. Huttese is spoken by a wide variety of peoples in various locations. It is widely spoken on the Outer Rim planet Tatooine as well as the Hutts' colonized planet Nal Hutta in the Corellian Sector. Anakin Skywalker, a human boy, speaks it fluently with his Toydarian master Watto, as well as with the "expecially dangerous dug called Sebulba."
"Modern Huttese goes back more than 500 standard years. Its ancient origins [as noted above] can be traced to the Hutts on their native planet Varl; the Baobab Archives have uncovered tablets in archaeological diggings on the moons of Varl showing ransom notes written in ancient Huttese at least 1,000 years ago."(1)
As with most languages once a species develops or adopts inter-stellar space travel, the Hutt language borrowed words from other languages, most notably Standad Basic. Example: 'blastoh' from the Basic 'blaster'.
Grammar
Just as the Hutts are tricky, so too can be their language. The word order is at times similar to Basic but can also be used reversed. For example, "Kaa bazza kundee hodrudda," can be translated as "Let the challenge begin," but using the true word order it is more like "Let the begin challenge." In addition, some words are two or three words combined to make one. In the sentence "Spasteelya bookie ookie, "Spasteelya" means "by far the" so long as "bookie ookie" means "favorite today". But Huttese can also be very simple. "Me dwana no bata," a four word sentence in Huttese, is translated as a seven word sentence in Basic: "I've got some selling to do."
Many beings try to make sense out of Huttese by comparing its grammatical structures to languages that are familiar to them like Basic. However, this is quite a task because Huttese is very chaotic in its structure. I have spent many a time wondering about how to take Huttese as a language similar to our own, not just english but any basic european language, and assign it with certain grammatical similarities in word order and I have found that it is very difficult. I feel Huttese is a complex language and has no specific grammar rules that we would find associated with a european language. For example in Ben Burtt's Travel Guide, two different words are used to mean with: 'foo' and 'gee', and in Return of the Jedi 'con' is used. I think the word 'with' is used in different instances, like perhaps if you use 'with' before one type of noun it is 'con', and if you use it before another type of noun it is 'gee' or what have you. Like in German, 'the coat' is 'der mantel' whereas 'the piano' is 'das klavier' and 'the girl' is 'die madchen'. That is three different words in german (der, das, and die) for one word in english (the). I think Huttese may use rules like this and not just with words like 'the' and 'these' but with other words like 'with' and so on.
Andras Rajki's Grammar section
[The following grammar section is the work of fellow Huttese scholar, Andras Rajki. Some of his spellings deviate from Ben Burtt's and other official canon sources of Huttese. Opinions expressed by Mr. Rajki are by no means shared by myself.]

LANGUAGE TYPE
It seems Huttese is an isolating language [like Chinese], without prefixes and suffixes. One exemption seems to be the suffix -k in Hattak = Hutt-sized.
VERBALS
(verbal prepositions)
A word can be a noun, a numeral or an adjective. To turn it into a verb, you need a verbal, i.e. a verbal preposition.
Example:
chee sa = did, did you chee sa krispa = [you] did fry; chee sa bicha = [you] did catch
du or da = -ed (past tense) du naga = wanted; du bunky = went; da ponky = stopped; du ning = put
do = -ed (past participle) do rundee = activated; do ney rana* = connected
inka = un-…-able inka bunga = incredible
ne = not (negative) ne nolia = do not respect
notto = you won't be able to notto bunky = you won't be able to go
nu = to (infinitive) nu puti cha naga = to bet
u = you are going to u wamma = you're gonna pay
* instead of tooney rana as indicated in the transcript
One exemption seems to be the imperative: e.g. ganta = bring! yacha = take! etc.

[Here are some charts Andras made:]

PRONOUNS: POSSESSIVE
PRONOUNS:
I JEE ME JE
YOU CHUBA YOU UMO MY MA
WE JEEJEE US BUTI YOUR TA
THEY LA THEM HUHA THEIR ANKA

[VARIATIONS ON
THE VERB TO BE:]
I AM ME WILL IX
YOU ARE UN WILL WON'T BE ABLE TO NOTTO
HE IS CHA, NA WILL
IT IS VO WILL
WE ARE WILL NIX
THEY ARE SO WILL LAX

[Here are some points and explanations Mr. Rajki gives for his work:]

1) It is true that my Transcript deviates from the Dialogue. The reason is, that in my humble opinion, all languages must be consistent with their own rules. Consistency is the only thing that makes a language understood by other speakers. So if the text was not consistent, I had to twist it, but just a little.
2) In EPISODE VI, Jabba says: Chone manya weesh asha beecho = I shall enjoy watching you die. I "twisted" the sentence to make it consistent with the "rules" as follows: Jor (with) maja (pleasure) ix (I will) asha (watch) pee (when, while) cho ([you] die).
3) I studied at least 20 languages, and I know that the word WITH is either a fixed preposition (like MIT in German, AVEC in French, etc.) or a grammatical case (like instrumentalis in some Slavic languages, in Finnish or in Hungarian). So we have to attribute something stable to it in all languages, including Huttese. It simply cannot be both FOO and GEE depending on the words they precede. In addition, these words only occur in the GUIDE, never in the films. This is why I invented JOR, which occurs in EPISODE VI, if I listen attentively.
4) I twisted a little the sentence Kaa bazza kundee hodrudda, and I got Ghee baza ya hodrada (Let the challenge begin!). From it, we can conclude that begin = baza. Coo is koona to the dumpa. Well, coo is only in the GUIDE, but never in the films. However, there is a clear reference to WHO in EPISODE VI: H'chu apenkee = Who are you? Here we have a situation which is the same as with Item 3) above: WHO must not be both h'chu and coo: we must choose, and the priority is always the film, not the GUIDE. If we twist H'chu apenkee a little, it will become Hah chuba enkee. So WHO =hah, CHUBA = you and ENKEE = are. Thus if we postulate NA = is and TO = to: Hah na koona to dumpa. = Who is going to the wastedump?

Pronunciation
"An X in Huttese is pronounced by making a wet snap of the lips like an aggressive kissing sound." (1) Practice with this phrase which means Don't shoot!: "Ap-xmasi keepuna!"
Numbers
The Huttese numerical system is different then Basic because Hutts have eight fingers as opposed to the human finger count of ten. Thus what a Hutt calls 10, a human calls 8. This difference has led to confusion especially when dealing with price and negotiation values. So if a Hutt offers you 20 pit droids, you are really only getting 16. The Hutts have used this to their advantage and often times purposely mislead those they deal with.
"A major cultural effect of Hutt base 8 has been the economic suppression of the Rodians by the Hutts. Rodians have ten fingers and evolved counting with base 10. When major Rodian land purchase contracts and communication franchises were set up, the Hutts took advantage of the confusion to basically squeeze out all Rodians from ownership. The result was their major financial subservience to the Hutts and the emergence of a nameless generation of Rodian lackeys."(1)
Cussing
An interesting note from Terry Brooks' novelization of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace is that Watto is described as switching to Huttese because it was the only language he knew in which he could use alot of derogatory words while angry with Anakin for losing a podrace to Sebulba. So next time you're feeling a bit of the dark side, Huttese would be your best bet to let some steam off. A Huttese swear phrase can be heard in Episode V, when C-3PO is insulted by another protocol droid with the phrase "E chu ta!" which Ben Burtt goes on to say the translation is not printable in his book. (1) The most popular swear word we have heard so far though, seems to be poodoo.
Chowbaso to the Complete Wermo's Dictionary section. Here you will find a Huttese to Basic dictionary and Basic to Huttese dictionary. The words in the dictionaries are either canon from Ben Burtt himself in his Travel Guide, contributed to the site by fellow Huttese scholars, or they were handpicked out of dialogue such as what is in the Transcript section using context clues and common sense by me. Some words picked out of phonetically transcribed dialogue from video games, etc. may contain spelling errors. Please contact me if you have the correct spellings.
