Ewokese

Ewokese was the lively language spoken by the furry, diminutive Ewoks who lived on the forest moon of Endor. It was mutually intelligible with the language of the Yuzzum, and contained more than three dozen words for conifers that they inhabited. The most common of those terms was "life trees."Star Wars: Complete Locations
When the Rebel Alliance's strike team came to Endor to destroy the second Death Star's shield generator, the protocol droid C-3PO communicated with the Ewoks using Yuzzum, and managed to translate the Ewokese into Galactic Basic Standard so the Ewok named Wicket was able to guide the Rebels to the Imperial bunker.
Ewokese had a word to describe those who were not Ewoks, which literally translated to "nakeds" in Galactic Basic Standard.
The human scavenger Rey learned the language from a salvaged ship computer on Jakku, but had not found an opportunity to use it.

==Behind the scenes==
The Ewokese language first appeared in the 1983 movie Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi, the last installment of the original trilogy of Star Wars. It was first identified as "Ewokese" in the Star Wars Legends continuity in the novelization of the film.Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi novelization 
It was developed by Ben Burtt, sound designer at ILM, and was a mix of words imitating Tibetan, Kalmyk Oirat and Lakota.Galactic Phrase Book & Travel Guide African and South-Pacific languages also influenced Ewokese.Star Wars: Behind the Magic In addition, Burtt and actor Anthony Daniels later used and even invented their own terms in the language when doing the scene where C-3PO was reciting the story of the protagonists's against the Empire in Yuzzum.
Burtt firstly decided to make Ewokese based on Tibetan and Kalmuck after hearing it in a documentary. After interviewing two Tibetan speakers, a father and son, he got Kosi Unkov, an 80-year-old Mongol woman to speak tales of her people through her native Kalmyk. He then recorded the sounds, with the various actors imitating various portions of the recording.Ben Burtt in the Return of the Jedi commentary Burtt credits Kosi Unkov, Lama Kunga, Sr. and Jr., M.K. Nepali, Khendup and Ditry Daza as the principal contributors of the Ewokese sounds, with Adeal Crooms as the voice of Wicket Wystri Warrick.
Ewokese babbling, chanting and singing, including the "Ewok Celebration," were performed by a subset of the Oakland Inspirational Choir.
