From Wikipedia: Ben Burtt, the sound designer of Star Wars says: "For the Ewoks, I was inspired by a recording on a BBC documentary of an elderly woman speaking Tibetan. It was very high-pitched and sounded like a good basis for Ewokese to me. Eventually then, what evolved was a pidgin, or double talk version of words from Tibetan, Nepali and other Mongolian languages [sic, neither Tibetan nor Nepali are Mongolian languages]."
"Tibetan diaspora was puzzled as many of the phrases they could make out did not correlate to events on screen."
