Pantoran was the native language of the Pantoran species from Pantora. It was comprised of many dialects that prevented clear communication, a vestige of the old feudal culture of the planet's past. Because of the difficulties of operating a planetary government with so many different languages, the Assembly established Galactic Basic Standard as the official language of their people as a means of unifying the planet. Because of the pro-Republic curriculum which continued even after the rise of the Galactic Empire, Pantoran was gradually becoming unfashionable.
