Ur-Kittât

ur-Kittât, commonly known as Sith or the Old Tongue, was the runic language of the Sith. It commonly adorned their temples, such as the Malachor Sith Temple―it was also found written on obelisks above the temple on Malachor I's surface. The writing was also in the tomb of Darth Bane and in the Lothal Jedi Temple. The language was also used in Sith rituals. However, by the time of the Galactic Republic and amidst an effort to quarantine Sith worlds and erase Sith history, ur-Kittât was considered a forbidden language, and the Senate passed legislation forbidding protocol droids from translating any texts from it. Despite this prohibition, Darth Bane's Sith Order continued to use speak ur-Kittât.
By the reign of the Galactic Empire, ur-Kittât was known as "the Old Tongue" or simply "Sith". However, it continued to be spoken by Galactic Emperor Darth Sidious, who taught it to his apprentice, Darth Vader. Despite it being a banned language, some Jedi however were capable of speaking ur-Kittât, as was demonstrated by Jarik Shan, although he was in no way fluent in it.
