i knew it!!! i wasn't smoking crack when i was a little kid and me and my parents were watching Star Wars: Return of the Jedi... they DO speak tagalog.... george lucas u sly devil you... putting our language in there....
from the infamous wikipedia:
The Ewoks speak Ewokese.
Some have noted that certain phrases uttered by the Ewoks resemble real languages sampled from Earth, such as Tagalog (the major basis for Filipino, the national language of the Philippines). The Ewoks seem to say "Ayon, puno daw ito!" when C-3PO is being worshipped. "Ayon, pinuno daw ito!" means "There it is! This seems to be a leader!" in Tagalog. "Puno" is a root word - from it comes pinuno, "leader", and pamumuno, "leadership". Immediately after, another Ewok replies with, "Maganda!" meaning beautiful. Also, when an Ewok is hit by a AT-ST laser, his companion (probably Wicket) apparently says, "Patay!", which is Tagalog for "Dead!"
