H'nemthe is a type of language. M'iiyoom Onith, a species known as H'nemthe, was using H'nemthe as she chuckled with Feltipern Trevagg, a Gotal who was attempting to woo Onith within the back chambers of Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina. This cantina was located in the Mos Eisley spaceport situated on the planet Tatooine, all of which occurred in 0 BBY.
The original trilogy film, Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which came out in 1977, was the first time the H'nemthe language was audible. The StarWarsKids.com video "Every Language in Star Wars Movies," which was released in 2019 as part of the Star Wars By the Numbers series, later identified the language from the film as H'nemthe. In Star Wars Legends continuity, the H'nemthe language was presented as the native tongue of the H'nemthe species within the 2003 Star Wars Roleplaying Game supplement called Ultimate Alien Anthology by Wizards of the Coast; however, in that continuity, it was never connected to the language heard in A New Hope.
