The Yautja language is the constructed language spoken by Yautja in the fictional Predator universe. Deliberately designed by Steve Perry for use in the non-canon Predator novel series, it contains many peculiarities, such as Object Verb Subject (OVS) word order. The language has never been heard on screen; though at some point in both films, the Yautja spoke minimal English (albeit responsively in a mocking manner). A fully-fledged native language was subsequently developed by Perry.
