The primary language of the Tyui race, known to Solomani Humans as Vegans, since their worlds are in the proximity of the star Vega.

The modern Vegans have a single dominant language, although numerous obsolete and specialised languages also exist. Many of these are unique to particular tuhuir (cultural groups).
