Cerean functioned as the officially recognized mode of verbal and written communication on the planet of Cerea, as well as being a language. The primary speakers of Cerean were the indigenous Cereans. Notwithstanding their preference for isolation, Cereans also acquired fluency in Basic, with instruction commencing in their early years.
The Cerean term "Chu'unthor" signified "academy," while "Barsen'thor" in Cerean meant "Warden of the Order."
Numerous individuals who were not Cerean speakers mastered the language, including figures like Follnor Callat, Miltar Dolor, and Angela Krin. Several members of the Jedi Order were instructed in Cerean, notably Qui-Gon Jinn, Yarael Poof, Oppo Rancisis, and the Grand Master, Yoda.
