I really love Star Wars. My other nerdy love is fictional languages. One thing that stood out to me about Mandalorians is that despite the warlike traditions of the culture, there’s a crucial element of love and family bonds expressed in the language. Cyare, pronounced “shah-ray” means beloved in Mando’a, the Mandalorian language.
