Editing Languages in Star Wars (section)

===Rodian===
In the original ''Star Wars'' film, [[Greedo]] speaks an unspecified alien language understood by [[Han Solo]]; it was later identified as Rodian.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Peterson|first=Mark Allen|date=May 2008|title=Linguistic Moments in the Movies|url=http://linguisticanthropology.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/May-2007.-Volume-48.-Issue-5.-Linguistic-Moments-in-the-Movies-Mark-Allen-Peterson-p.-67.pdf|journal=Anthropology News|publisher=Society for Linguistic Anthropology|volume=49|issue=5|pages=67|access-date=July 26, 2016|doi=10.1525/an.2008.49.5.67.1}}</ref> Bruce Mannheim described Greedo as speaking [[Southern Quechua]] in "morphologically well-formed" phrases with sentences ultimately meaningless. Allen Sonnefrank, a Quechua speaker and [[linguistic anthropology]] student at [[University of California, Berkeley]], claimed [[Lucasfilm]] contacted him to record Quechua dialogue for the film. He was told the dialogue was to be played backward for the film. Sonnefrank refused to record the dialogue, feeling it to be a "potentially exploitative move best made by one whose first language was Quechua, if at all".<ref name="LinguistsInHollywood"/>
