"Choono slalem denni tay'lori olee-ay. Lucheno vadem klavlane. Blenay vedi nalem koreem. Blenay vedi nalem koreem. Villos susko kono lamal! Vlemon tagoo!"
―Old Daka, using the language in an incantation — 20?cb=20250116042720 ▶️ (file info)[3]

A language was used by the Nightsisters of Dathomir, primarily in their magick spells. Mother Talzin used it in her transformation of Savage Opress into a warrior of the dark side,[1] and Old Daka would later use it in the Chant of Resurrection in order to resurrect the undead.[3] Symbols of the language, were carved into the sides of the holder of Count Dooku's lock of hair.[3][4] Talzin again spoke the language after Darth Maul returned to his homeworld, and Talzin exorcised him.[5] Later around 14 BBY,[6] during an encounter with the Jedi Cal Kestis, the Nightsister Merrin repeated the Chant of Resurrection, raising the undead Nightsisters. When hair-braiding together cloth for burial pods, Nightisters recited a spell of protection.[7] In 9 ABY,[8] the Great Mothers used the Chant of Resurrection on Grand Admiral Thrawn's Night Troopers to aid him against Ahsoka Tano, while they were escaping Peridea.[2]

  8. SWInsider "A Certain Point of View" — Star Wars Insider 228 dates the events of "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" to nine years after Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which corresponds to 9 ABY per Star Wars: Timelines. Preceding episodes, also take place in that year, since they take place after Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett, which is dated to 9 ABY according to Timelines. As "Part Eight: The Jedi, the Witch, and the Warlord" takes place shortly after Part Seven, the events of Ahsoka as a whole must all take place within the same year.
