Evolution of the Outer Rim Alphabet. First appeared in The Phantom Menace in 1999, where it feature 10 glyphs (numerals 0-9). Made into a fan font called Nal-Huttese, also 1999. The designers assigned most of the glyphs as letters, rather than numerals.
Huttese was the language spoken by the Hutts, a slug-like species who called Nal Hutta their homeworld. It was also commonly spoken on Hutt-controlled planets like Tatooine. Even on worlds such as Lothal, where Hutts were not in power, their tongue was still a widespread trade language.
Huttese was a writing system used on Nal Hutta, the homeworld of the Hutt species. It was also used on Tatooine, a world controlled by the Hutts. The alphabet was notable for using different symbols for lower case and upper case letters.
According to the Behind the Magic CD-Rom, Ben Burtt derived the Huttese language from the ancient Incan dialect, Quechua. He based many phrases on samples from a language exercise tape. I have found a site that gives lessons on Quechua and have found a few Quechua words used in the Star Wars saga.
