Description:

"The Dai Bendu language was spoken by the members of the ancient Order of Dai Bendu on the frozen planet of Ando Prime. The name of the Je'daii Order was forged in that language."

"Every language is like a one-of-a-kind species. It captures unique conceptualizations of the world and has its own ways of constructing words, phrases and sentences for communicating ideas. As we compare the words and structures of various languages, we come to a greater understanding of our world. (...) Language captures how we perceive the world around us and how we relate to one another, it defines who we are. The Mother tongue language we grow up with is the one used to express what is in our hearts; our heart language."

"Studying language is invaluable for learning about other cultures and mapping their respective developments, histories, myths, customs, etc. Linguistics also helps us understand and document geographical /environmental influences, periods of migration/diaspora, origin of certain spiritual beliefs, etc. through the study of things like cognates, shared myths between cultures, language families, and tracking differences in word usage and dialects over a long period of time."

Notes:

A series of fanfiction exploring the consequences and results of the Jedi having their own language, and speaking it still.

About the authors:
We are three nerds who decided to make a working conlang based on the 3 words we have of Dai Bendu in canon.

About the Dai Bendu Conlang Project:
This project was born after a rather entertaining discussion. We hereby give permission to use this language in your own projects, we only ask that you credit us as we have put quite a lot of work into constructing this language.
