Risan language

The Risian or Risan language was the language of the Risians used on the planet Risa.
Ravis spoke Risan.
Because Risan culture was so accommodating to others, it was considered unusual for aliens to learn their language. During her visit to Risa in 2152, Hoshi Sato learned the language quickly despite never having spoken it before. According to a Risian woman, Sato spoke the language almost without accent. ()
Risan wine featured labeling in the Risian language. (, )
In 3190, Risian Ruon Tarka's holo interface was in Risian script. ()
