"Tell your uncle if he gets a translator, be sure it speaks Bocce."
―Beru Whitesun Lars[1]

Bocce was a language used in the Outer Rim Territories. It was developed by the Baobab Merchant Fleet as a trade language which employed numerous species. Though not commonly used by most, any experienced pilots or spacers would know a few phrases in case they came across those that did not speak the pilot's native language.
