treespeak

Treespeak was a slang spoken by Le-Matoran of various islands.1

Notes

The Le-Matoran were the only Matoran with a special language of their own. Le-Koro slang acted like a code to keep their enemies from knowing what they were saying; naturally, it also confused their friends.2

The Le-Matoran of Le-Koro spoke to each other in a dialect of their own called "treespeak."3

The Le-Matoran of Voya Nui spoke treespeak off and on.4

Treespeak/chutespeak was slang and therefore localized in one geographic area. It was not spoken on other islands.5
