The native tongue of the Pantoran people, who hail from Pantora, was known as Pantoran. This language was composed of numerous dialects, which hindered effective communication due to the lingering effects of the planet's historical feudal system. To overcome the challenges of managing a planetary government with such linguistic diversity, the Assembly designated Galactic Basic Standard as the official language for all Pantorans, aiming to create a unified society. Due to the educational system's pro-Republic focus, which persisted even after the Galactic Empire came to power, the use of Pantoran gradually declined in popularity.
Although Galactic Basic Standard surpassed Pantoran in usage, regional inflections continued to influence the way many Pantorans spoke Basic. Furthermore, a significant number of Pantorans opted to educate their offspring in a commercial language like Huttese, alongside Basic.
