Ewokese 101:
An Introduction
We first learn about the Ewok species in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. They are also featured in a television movie, The Ewok Adventure, and a 26 episode cartoon series called Ewoks. Their language was developed by Ben Burtt. Ben Burtt talks about that process in his Galactic Phrase Book & Travel Guide. Ewokese is based on Tibetan, Kalmuck, and a small amount of North American Lakota.
Ben Burtt says in Bantha Tarcks #17 August 1982:
"For the Ewoks, I was inspired by a recording on a BBC documentary of an elderly woman speaking Tibetan. It was very high-pitched and sounded like a good basis for Ewokese to me. Eventually then, what evolved was a pidgin, or double talk version of words from Tibetan, Nepali and other Mongolian languages. Huttese was created by the same process." (7)
For more information, read Ben Burtt's book.
History
The Ewoks live on a moon that revolves around the planet, Endor. The moon however, is often referred to as Endor itself and sometimes the Sanctuary Moon. The Endor moon is covered with forests and many forest dwelling species, one of which is the Ewoks. There are different tribes of Ewoks. The one with which we are familiar with live in dwellings built into the tree-tops. They are a very superstitious species and have strong religious beliefs that center around the trees of their homeworld. Although they are sentient, their civilization has not progressed past the use of spears.. "The Ewok language is liquid and expressive, and most humans and other aliens can learn to speak it. Ewoks, conversely, can learn Basic, though they often mix in many words from their own language."(1) Not much is known about Ewokese, or Ewok. It is one of the six million forms of communication known by C-3PO who refers to the Ewoks he encounters as using a "very primitive dialect."(2) Because there are different tribes, there are also different dialects of the language. Perhaps with more interaction with the New Republic in the aftermath of the Ewoks' help to the Rebellion in destroying the Second Death Star, more can be learned about these brave and loyal beings.
Grammar
We must assume that Basic has already infiltrated the Ewok language when we see variations of Basic words such as sun, polar, and ruins compared to their Ewok equivalents: sunee, pola, and rueenee. It is also possible that Huttese may have influenced Ewokese as there is the Huttese word Dobra which translates as "I am" and the Ewok word Dobra which means "Elders." Perhaps it is merely a lingual coincidence.
