This means that they only use the digits 0-7, with 8 being the equivalent of our 10.

The known numbers in Huttese are: Bo (1) Dopa (2) Duba (3) Fwanna (4) K'wanna (5) Kita (6) Goba (7) Our 8-15 are the Huttese equivalent of 10-17. These numbers are hunto, biska, boboba, goboba, joboba, soboba, koboba, and foboba. The only other known Huttese number is 100 (144 in base 8): jujumon. For the most part, Huttese is pronounced as it is written. However, the language has 1 or 2 sounds that may be unfamiliar to an English speaker. For example, an X is pronounced like a kissing sound or a loud smack of the lips. This sound appears in the phrase Ap-xmasi keepuna ("Don't shoot!"). Watch and listen closely to characters speaking Huttese in the Star Wars films and spinoff shows, and try to approximate the harsh and guttural sounds of Huttese speech.
