Basic
Galactic Basic Standard (or Galactic Basic, Galactic Standard, Galaxy Standard or just Basic) was the most prevalent language in the galaxy.
Writing System
The Alphabet is called Aurebesh.
Geographical Distribution
Most sentient species that made galactic contact could and did speak Basic in addition to whatever native or regional language they might have used on a daily basis. Some beings normally did not possess the organs necessary to speak Basic, including Polis Massans, Ssi-ruuk, P'w'ecks, Wookiees, and a number of insectoid races. Most Gamorreans could not speak Basic, though there were exceptions (such as Governor Kugg). Whether or not a being could speak Basic, it was usually in their best interest to comprehend it, and most did.
- High Galactic was a dialect intended for displaying reverence and honor to religious figures.
- Basic was most often written using the Aurebesh script, although it was also written in the High Galactic alphabet.
