Khalani

Khalani is the language "spoken" (via telepathy) by the protoss. Other races "hearing" Khalani being 'spoken' hear meaningless sounds, though protoss possess the ability to translate the language via telepathy.

Acknowledgements
These phrases are uttered by protoss units in the games when first selected. Their meanings presumably vary, but all are linked to a protoss acknowledging a superior's presence in some form or another.


 * Dunad'wynn
 * Galahoslos?
 * Gee'hous!
 * Ischk'nu?
 * Issah'tu!
 * Khas Arashad (Note that Khas was an individual, so "Arashad" is presumably its own word)
 * Khas Naradahk! (Note that "Khas" was an individual, so "Naradahk" is seemingly its own word) It is suggested that because it is the dark templar that say this expression in the game and because they mention Khas, Naradahk is most likely a curse or swear in Khalani (it was Khas who reintroduced the Khala to the Protoss, much to the outrage of the dark templar). It is also notable that the dark templar say this expression in rage and disgust.
