Binary or droidspeak was the language commonly spoken by droids. It consisted of a set of beeps and whistles strung together into what resembled sentences.[1] The C1-series astromech droid utilized this form of communication,[2] as did Industrial Automaton's R2 series astromech droid.[1] While difficult, some organics such as Anakin Skywalker, Hera Syndulla and Rey were able to understand it.


All droids could understand binary. Without a computer system to write their words when it was necessary for organics to hear what a binary-only droid had to say, another droid, such as protocol droids or others capable of speaking a common language like Basic could translate for them.[1] The astromech BB-8 spoke in 27th generation droidspeak, a compressed variant of standard droidspeak.

Binary was also used as a programming language for devices that did not have the artificial intelligence of droids, such as binary loadlifters and moisture vaporators.[5]
