No universo:
No filme, os membros do Kanjiklub foram de fato retratados por asiáticos, especificamente indonésios 1 (foto de Star Banco de Dados de Guerras :
Na novelização, no entanto, eles são descritos em um lugar como "alienígenas" (embora seu líder seja em outro lugar referido como um homem):
Han opened one eye. Turning, he expected the burst of Guavian fire that had failed to reach him to be replaced by a similar barrage from the Kanjiklub members. Except that another rathtar had appeared behind them and, roaring deafeningly, was busily taking the aliens apart.

A novelização não nos diz que língua o líder Kanjiklub (Tasu Leech) fala; apenas confirma que ele não gosta de Basic e fala outra língua (que Han também fala):
Han knew perfectly well that Tasu Leech would never deign to speak Basic, so he was not surprised when the man replied in another language - one with which Han was, fortunately, familiar.

O Star Wars Databank dá credibilidade às alegações em respostas anteriores de que os Kanjiklubbers podem ter falado Huttese.
Entrada do Databank em Star Wars no Kanjiklub :
An Outer Rim criminal organization, Kanjiklub is a rival of the Guavian Death Gang. But while the Guavians are cold and technologically adept, the Kanjiklubbers are street fighters, brawling with improvised tactics and wielding a hodgepodge of blasters, knives and clubs. The group’s wild style reflects their origins as renegade slaves of the Hutts. Kanjiklub has momentarily put aside its dispute with the Guavians to settle scores with a mutual enemy – the Corellian smuggler Han Solo.
Entrada do banco de dados do Star Wars na Tasu Leech :
The leader of the Kanjiklub, Tasu Leech is a brutal street fighter. Leech grew up on the Hutt colony world of Nar Kanji and refuses to speak Basic, dismissing it as a “soft language for soft people” and preferring to let his Huttsplitter blaster rifle do the talking. Leech and his fighters confront Han Solo aboard his bulk freighter, angry that the Corellian has twice failed to deliver promised cargo.
Guerra nas Estrelas: A Força Desperta - O Dicionário Visual não menciona o idioma falado pelo Kanjiklub, apenas ecoando o comentário do banco de dados de que o Leech considerou o Basic uma "linguagem suave para pessoas macias".
Fora do Universo:
A linguagem é aparentemente um pastiche de pedacinhos emprestados de indonésio, sundanês (a língua falada pelos atores, que é comum em Java Ocidental), e outras línguas asiáticas, bem como alguns novos fonemas destinados a soar vagamente asiáticos . O resultado, que é falado por Leech na tela, ainda não foi nomeado:
After being sent the relevant portion of the closely guarded script, she set about creating the alien versions of the Kanjiklubbers’ lines. Because the actors were from Indonesia, Ms. Forsberg said that she was encouraged to base her linguistic concoction on the sounds of the national language, Indonesian, as well as of the actors’ native language of Sundanese, spoken in western Java. She studied clips of those and other Asian languages to come up with something suitably exotic-sounding. Ms. Forsberg said that she sought to create alien words that would “sound credible” and “not like gibberish.”
Reached by email in Jakarta, Mr. Ruhian [who plays Tasu Leech] said that he appreciated Ms. Forsberg’s choice of sources. He received sound files of Ms. Forsberg’s creations and worked with a dialect coach on set to get the pronunciation right. Though not all of his lines survived the final edit, his character Tasu does tell Han Solo “Wrong again, Solo. It’s over for you,” and “Nowhere left to hide,” according to the English subtitles.
The as-yet-unnamed language of the Kanjiklubbers follows in the path of other alien tongues in the “Star Wars” franchise. In the original trilogy, sound designer Ben Burtt fashioned lines for the bounty hunter Greedo from the South American language Quechua, and he used bits of the Tanzanian language Haya for Lando Calrissian’s diminutive co-pilot Nien Nunb.

1 O ator que interpreta Tasu Leech, Yayan Ruhian, é da Indonésia . Parece que os atores que interpretam o resto da gangue também vieram da Indonésia. .
