All beeps have a canonical meaning.

Correctly translating the beeps will result in a kind of pidgin. There is assumed to be some nuance in the in-game inflection of the beeps.

The language was created as required. The lexicon has become richer and more regular over time.

The language is not a puzzle per se. It isn't known if it can be completely solved with what we have.

Words have little or no inflecting to show things like case or tense.

Compound words appear to be denoted by dashes between individual words.

Word order is mostly similar to English.

Punctuation besides dashes is absent, sometimes making it difficult to figure out breaks between sentences.

Vocabulary is very limited, with a single word often displaying a wide variety of nuanced meanings depending on context.

Be-/Ba-

These sounds can be prefixed one or more times to a word to denote greater (Be-) or lesser (Ba-) quantity, amount, scope, or size.

Example: dooby (place, location), bedooby (city), bebedooby (planet, moon), bebebedooby (universe)

Another example: bing is (space)ship, bebebing is big-big-ship [dreadnaught], bababing is little-little-ship [speeder bike]

This sound shows up in most questions, and comes close, in places, to serving as a question mark.

It serves a sort of general interrogative function, seemingly able to function as who, what, why, how, etc. as the situation calls for.

It seems to be able to be placed at both the beginning or the end of an interrogative sentence.

Placed at the beginning, it usually corresponds with a "WH" question word.

When placed at the end, it's most likely used as a question mark.

It can sometimes be useful for determining the break point between two sentences.

Ee-oo

All "ee-oo" sounds indicate some sort of emotion, feeling, state of being etc.

For each "ee-oo" sound, there's a corresponding "oo-oo" sound, which indicates the opposite meaning.

Repeating letters

(Reminder to write here an explanation of words with repeated letters, like "whrooow".)

* When mentioning someone, droid language distinguishes talking about "friends" from "enemies", and uses a different word for each.

Numbers are given in hexadecimal, big-endian form.

Cardinal numbers will use "-p" as a suffix.

Ordinal numbers use "-zz" as a suffix.

Rational numbers are given in two different ways:

Numbers between 0 and 1, often indicating probabilities, are given as a cardinal, X, followed by "-jing"; this represents "X/16".

Examples:

zip-jing means 0/16, or no chance.

bip-jing means 1/16 or "unlikely".

bap-jing, or 8/16, means "maybe" (even odds).

fip-jing means 12/16 or "probably".

Other rational numbers are given as two integers, separated by a dash (or space), ending with "-p".

Example:

"ka-bap" means 0x3.8, or "three and a half".

Large numbers are given in base-16 scientific notation, m times 16 to the power of n, with two cardinals separated by "-dok-"

m is assumed to have a period after the first digit, which is usually separated by a space or dash.

Random variables, such as damage values in RPG dice notation, are given as two cardinals, separated by "-zz-"

The first one is the expected value, or mean (μ) of the variable.

The second one is the standard deviation (σ) of the variable.

Directions are given as vectors, and use the following syntax:

Numbers have the suffix of "-k" (ie. "zik", "pik", "bak")

-jang is appended after the numbers (ie. "zik-pik-jang")

The first number is the angle on the horizontal plane (left/right)

It is unknown at this point whether 90 degrees is left or right

The second number is the angle on the vertical plane (up/down)

90 degrees on the vertical plane is down (270 would be up)

If the vertical angle is 0, then that number is left off (ie. "bak-jang")

The angle is given as the number out of 16 (ie. zik is "0/16", "pik" is 4/16)

The fractions are fractions of a circle, so 4/16 is 90 degrees, 8/16 is 180 degrees, etc.

Examples:

zik-pik-jang = 0 degrees left/right, 90 degrees down = "downward"

bak-jang = 180 degrees left/right, 0 degrees down = "reverse"/"backward"

Measurements are usually given in SI units, and use specific words to designate the unit.
