Ryl, which is also referred to as Twi'leki, was a language utilized by the Twi'leks originating from Ryloth. It incorporated spoken sounds together with a sophisticated sign language that made use of the Twi'lek's head-tails, which are known as lekku. This sign language enabled the Twi'leks to convey entire ideas without needing to articulate even a single word aloud. If someone raised the end of their right lek, it signified "Hello!", and conversely, lowering the end of their left lek indicated "Goodbye!". When a Twi'lek crossed both lekku tips two times, it meant they were saying "I love you." The expression "May spice salt your wounds!" was conveyed when both lekku tips were poked into the speaker's back.
Obi-Wan Kenobi, a Jedi Master, possessed the ability to converse in Ryl; nevertheless, being human, his communication was limited to the verbal aspect of the language.
