Koruun

Koruun, alternatively spelled Korunni or Korunnal, functioned as the native tongue of the Korunnai people inhabiting the planet of Haruun Kal.

Mace Windu, after his departure from his Haruun Kal homeworld at a young age, made a return as a teenager. He spent enough time to acquire the language and immerse himself in the culture. During the Clone Wars, his subsequent return to Haruun Kal allowed him to comprehend the spoken language, although his own fluency remained ambiguous.

Grammar

Pluralization

Plural nouns are generally formed by appending -ai to the noun's end. In certain instances, the final syllable undergoes modification. For example, Korun transforms into Koruunai, and dôshalo becomes dôshallai, whereas Balaw simply becomes Balawai.

Body Language

Tilting the head slightly towards the right served as the Koruunai's equivalent of a shrug.
