What Is Huttese?
Huttese is the language spoken by the Hutts — the slug-like crime lords who dominate the criminal underworld of the Star Wars galaxy. It was also widely spoken as a trade language across Hutt-controlled worlds like Tatooine, meaning that even non-Hutts — smugglers, bounty hunters, and merchants — could be heard using Huttese in cantinas and at spaceports across the Outer Rim.
Huttese was developed for the original Star Wars trilogy and expanded significantly across the prequel films, The Clone Wars animated series, and The Book of Boba Fett. Its guttural, liquid sounds give it a distinctly alien quality — you can hear it in Jabba the Hutt's demands, Greedo's threats to Han Solo in the Mos Eisley Cantina, and the rapid chatter of Jawas and Watto. Star Wars and all related characters are trademarks of Disney / Lucasfilm.
Jabba the Hutt and the Huttese Language
The most famous Huttese speaker is Jabba the Hutt — the grotesque, powerful gangster who holds court in his palace on Tatooine and serves as the primary villain of the first third of Return of the Jedi (1983). Jabba speaks exclusively in Huttese, relying on a protocol droid (C-3PO) or other interpreters when dealing with non-Huttese speakers, a detail that reinforces his power: he doesn't adapt for you — you adapt for him.
The phrase "Han Solo! Nyoss!" from the original films and "Poodoo!" (used as an insult) are among the most recognisable Huttese expressions. The language sounds like a mix of influences drawn from real world languages — fans and linguists have noted similarities to elements of Quechua (a South American indigenous language), which was used as phonological inspiration during production of the original trilogy.

Huttese Beyond Jabba
Huttese is spoken by multiple characters across the Star Wars universe — not just Hutts. Jawas (the small, hooded scavengers of Tatooine) speak a related dialect. Watto (the junk dealer in The Phantom Menace) speaks Huttese. Even Greedo — the Rodian bounty hunter in the Mos Eisley Cantina — argues with Han Solo entirely in Huttese, giving us one of the most debated exchanges in film history ("Who shot first?").
The Book of Boba Fett (2021–22) brought Huttese back prominently, with twin Hutt crime lords speaking the language throughout the series. The language's continued use across live-action series demonstrates how thoroughly Huttese has been established as the authentic criminal patois of the Star Wars galaxy's Outer Rim.
