What's the deal with Yoda?

If you've seen any of the Star Wars movies, you probably noticed that Yoda speaks a weird version of English. Although, Yoda has no defined race or home, his language is called Yodic or Yodish.
Much has been debated over this topic, if you can believe it. Most modern languages have a subject-verb-object sentence structure. The language Yoda speaks has a subject-object-verb sentence structure, which was been linked to several dead languages. Originating in a small, east African population, this language slowly spread across the world.
It's ultimately up to you what you want to believe, but we personally think Yoda is one of our long lost ancestors!


If you want to try your hand at Yoda speak, here's a website that allows you to type in sentences and it converts it over to Yodish for you.
