The Ghormans in "Andor" Season 2 speak a fictional language called Ghor. This language was specifically created for the show by dialect coach Marina Tyndall and is based on French phonetics, reflecting the fact that many Ghorman characters are played by French actors. While Ghor sounds similar to French and draws from its phonology, it is an original constructed language with its own vocabulary and grammar, making it unintelligible without prior exposure. Additionally, Ghor has two written forms, Ghorelle (High Ghor) and Dixian (Low Ghor), designed by graphic artists Elle McKee and Lauren Dix, which appear in the show's set design to deepen the cultural identity of Ghorman
. In summary:
- Language name: Ghor
- Based on: French phonetics but a distinct fictional language
- Spoken by: Ghorman people in "Andor" Season 2
- Written forms: Ghorelle (High Ghor) and Dixian (Low Ghor)
- Purpose: To emphasize Ghorman community, pride, and insularity within the Star Wars universe
