Aunik Tynesae, translated Old Tionese or Ancient Tionese in Galactic Basic, was the language spoke by the first Tionese of the Tion Cluster. The last known use of Old Tionese was nearly 800 years before the Galactic Empire was formed. Old Tionese is mostly still remembered solely by linguists and Tionese historians wishing to preserve the customs and history of the Ancestral Tionese, the humans that founded the Tion Cluster after being stranded on Tion by a lost Coruscanti sleeper ship.

The language is kept alive on the worlds of the Tion Cluster only through the Tionese colonists and Tionese criminal underground. The Tionese colonists used the language when they expanded within the Tion Cluster, to worlds such as Voss, Desargorr VI, and Embaril III. The underground criminal cells of Tion and Niddion were notorious for speaking Ancient Tionsese when illegal missions took them outside the Cluster.
