Ushi

Ushi is a hybrid language with its origins in the starport and spaceways of Gushemege Sector. Initially evolving along the Gushemege Main from Vilani and Galanglic influence it is a language that is part street slang and part ancient echo. It is spoken as a second language to Galanglic on almost all worlds of Gushemege, and in some of the more isolated or unruly startowns it is the only language spoken. Uniquely for such a language it is also favoured by the higher echelons of Gushemege society, partly to provide a link to the people, and partly to act as a display of Gushemege's individuality.

Ushi translator chips can be obtained at all class A and B startports in the sector, but the rapidly evolving nature of the language, always full of new words or meanings of the moment, means that they should be used with caution.
