Tamashek is an ancient language of Salusa Secundus. The term sietch possibly derives from that language (Ingslei)
Notes[]
"Tamashek" or "Tamasheq" is an actual real language, it refers to a Malian variety of Tuareg, a Berber macro-language.The few known words from the Sardaukar language however seem to hint towards Persian, Ukrainian and Urdu, so the language of Salusa Secundus and historical Tamasheq are most likely not identical, though the name is derived of it.
The Language of Salusa Secundus or the Sardaukar as heard in the Dune (2021 film) movie seems to be based on modified/simplified modern english.
