What Is the Sith Language?
The Sith language is the ancient tongue of the Sith — the dark-side Force users who have served as the primary antagonists of the Star Wars franchise across six thousand years of in-universe history. Originally the native language of the Sith species (a red-skinned, humanoid alien race from the planet Ziost and Korriban), it was later adopted by the human Dark Jedi who conquered and interbred with the Sith species, creating the Sith Order known from the films.
The Sith language appears carved into Sith holocrons, inscribed on temple walls across Korriban (the Sith homeworld), and spoken in ritual and ceremonial contexts throughout the Star Wars Expanded Universe. It is a language associated with power, domination, and the manipulation of the dark side of the Force — darker in tone and phonology than even Huttese, with guttural sounds and a cadence that carries the weight of millennia of Sith tradition. Star Wars and all related characters are trademarks of Disney / Lucasfilm.
The Sith — History and the Rule of Two
The Sith Order has a history spanning thousands of years in Star Wars lore. After nearly destroying themselves through constant infighting, the Sith were reorganised by Darth Bane under the Rule of Two: there can only ever be two Sith at a time — a Master to embody the power of the dark side, and an Apprentice to crave it. This rule drove the Sith into hiding for a thousand years, plotting in secret until Darth Sidious (Emperor Palpatine) and Darth Vader finally achieved their goal of destroying the Jedi Order and seizing galactic power.
The most famous Sith in the franchise include Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine (Darth Sidious), Darth Maul, Count Dooku (Darth Tyranus), and Kylo Ren. Each Sith takes a "Darth" title upon assuming their Sith identity — a tradition rooted in the ancient Sith language, where "Darth" is believed to derive from a corruption of the phrase "Dark Lord."

The Sith Code
The philosophical core of the Sith Order is expressed in the Sith Code — a dark mirror of the Jedi Code that embraces passion, power, and freedom through strength:
"Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me."
The Sith Code was originally composed in the Sith language before being translated into Galactic Basic. Its cadence — each line building on the last, power accumulating through the progression — reflects the Sith philosophical view of the Force as something to be seized and dominated rather than harmonised with. The dark elegance of the Code has made it one of the most quoted passages in all of Star Wars lore.
