September – Language

In Mando’a, the language spoken and written by the Mandalorian people, there is a word for education: Bajur [BAH-jur]. Bajur doesn’t only mean education such as learning at a school – it includes preparation for life and survival. An important part of working with your fellow Mandalorians on missions will be communicating with them, so we are going to learn a little about Mando’a this month!
