This article is about the language of the alien species Dug. You may be looking for the Dug species.

Dug farewell meaning "Don't trip on your way out!"

Dug was the native language of the Dug species from the planet Malastare.

As Dugs were a subservient species to the Grans, Dug language was not as widely used as Dugs would prefer it to be since the Gran language was usually preferred.

Although many Dugs were forced to learn Gran, most of them decided not to learn Basic, hoping to force others to learn Dug language, thus acknowledging their society.
