| | Sorry. I also have no clue as to what she's saying.  The only way to tell is through the conversation options you choose. (Spoilers, please highlight) This girl is the missing girl that the Twilek in Dantooine (you can find him near the landing pad) has been talking about. Just tell him you found her and you have completed the quest.
Hope this helps.

| | If your Dark Side , you can get infinate DS points by telling her to get off your ship, but stopping her before she gets off  and telling her again and so on. |

| | | Just try different dialog options, then I belive you can "learn" her language.

| | | The girl speaks mandalorian. So can your main character, so if you try hard enough, you should be able to understand what the girl says.

That's why the main character found it hard to understand her, even though he/she knows Mandalorian.

| | I didn't know the Mandalorians have their own language. How come they never speak it when you are around them?  ( In the first game and more importantly, the second one ) |

Everything else is basically a series of three mishmashes of 20 fake words each, constantly randomized for use in any individual conversation.

| | | Most alien language (non-English, that is) in the KOTOR series sounds mostly like made-up language, like what Fable had mentioned. I just wish that if the developers want to include alien languages, at least they should have given alien language more vocabulary because they (the aliens and non-English speakers) keep on repeating the same phrase even when the conversation is different.

Do this 2 or 3 times, and you have your "languages." Actually building a language is a much more complex process, and one that involves a lot more word parts, words, rules of grammar, etc.
The way the developers hoped to fool you was because you entered the game with the expectation of things being strange and different, and because the nonsense is quickly spoken. If you analyze it, there's no content.

| | What I'm saying is why do the Mandalorians just speak Basic( or English or the main language of the game) instead of having their own dialect or something.If they really have their own language.I know it's not really a language that the aliens speak. It's basically the same thing over again, but why didn't they do it for the Mandalorians.  |

It is far, far simpler to create 20 syllables and string them together in odd combinations. Quote:

| | | You guys seem to be forgetting that Mandalorian prisoner on Korriban. He speaks Mandalorian, I think.
