I heard we had a protocol droid with us... any chance he understands the language or can figure out the origin of the language? He should be more apt at it than a Jedi anyway... it might be a good idea to have an idea about their culture so we don't accidently anger them or suddenly figure out they are cannibals with a special taste in JEdi or something.
Ush said that if I didn't understand it, nobody would. I'm guessing that includes the protocol droid. This is going to be a language that nobody knows but the Atrii... and Ascar, it seems.
Jelena is going to get working on figuring out their language right away, of course. She follows the Atrii as they guide the Jedi and their ally up to the mountain wall.
No, the protocol droid does not have the language in his database. And in fact he's not better at working them out than Jelena is- Jelena has a Scholar's speciality in languages. That trumps just about anything. But anything she works out, the droid will be able to put in its database also.
Hmm, listening to it though, Jelena... it has syntactic elements that are not dissimilar from those used in the Republic. You'd bet on a common origin.
