Gree (language)
The Gree language was the mode of communication employed by the Gree, who are recognized as one of the most ancient species residing in the galaxy.
A notable characteristic of this language was its extensive reliance on metaphors rooted in geometric shapes and colors. During 3643 BBY, specifically within the Old Republic era, a group of Gree droids stationed on Coruscant communicated in Basic but incorporated Gree language structures, which significantly hampered understanding with other beings. To those unfamiliar with the language, it seemed as though the droids were using identical words with completely disparate meanings.

- Blue tangent - (possibly "success")
- Blue vertex - a specific ritual for celebrated heroes
- Green obtuse - (possibly "not working" or "broken")
- Green perpendicular - ("enemies" or "attacking forces")

Additional Information
The suggested meanings provided are based on contextual interpretations, as the game does not offer explicit translations.
It appears that the colors and geometric shapes function as independent patterns. The state of being parallel is considered favorable, in contrast to perpendicular. The terms obtuse and acute seem to retain their conventional meanings, while a vertex signifies a connection between two entities or individuals. Concave appears to represent a less desirable state compared to convex, although this distinction is somewhat ambiguous. A "sphere" is undoubtedly a thought or concept, "black sphere" being a complex or difficult idea.
Deciphering the colors is more challenging. Black and white seem to correlate with the difficulty level of a task, with black indicating difficulty and white indicating ease. Their colors appear to follow a pattern from advantageous to terrible, starting at purple and proceeding through red, orange, yellow, green, and blue. (In one instance, blue seems to be "good," although it is combined with parallel in that sentence, which is known to be a positive.)
