SWG is composed of 10 species all with their own unique languages. Language comes in two forms in the game: Comprehension and Speech. Comprehension represents the character's ability to understand the particular language and speech of course, means the ability for the character to use the language in conversation. Players can have one or the other, or both, in most cases. The ability to understand or speak the language is determined by possession of language comrehension and speech modifiers. These can be obtained by either being of that species or by being trained by another player of different species.

Language Listing

A player may choose their spoken language by opening the community window and changing it. Once switched, the player will then be able to talk in that language. Only players that have the comprehension modifier for that particular language will be able to see the text in english form, Otherwise it goes through a conversion process within the client for that particular language spoken. This process can be viewed by examining the game_language.iff file. Certain species such as wookies cannot learn any other spoken language besides Shyrriiwook. Other species likewise cannot learn Shyriiwook. No species aside from Twilek's can learn lekku or speak it with one exception, being smugglers with the language comprehension modifier who can automatically comprehend it (but still cannot speak it).

Languages can be taught just like any other skill, but take no skill points to learn nor do they give apprentice experience for the instructor.

Once a player has learned a language, they can then teach any other player. All races start off able to comprehend basic in addition to their native language. All races with the exception of wookies start off with the ability to speak basic as well. Other than this, each race must learn the other's language on their own from other players.
