The Star Wars character has been speaking English as a second language. A professor of linguistics believes he has worked out Yoda's native language – Hawaiian.
What language does Yoda speak? The answer to this is surprisingly clear: It's English (duh). In all five of the movies he's in, he speaks only English. This is not to say that he doesn't speak any other language, but we actually don't have any evidence he does.
He speaks mostly using normal syntax but exchanges words now and then. Is Yoda's distinctive grammar based on German? It's not. German sentences typically still follow an S-V-O structure, though there is much more leeway for word order.
TIL Yoda, of the Star Wars universe, uses sentences that follow the object-subject-verb pattern. This pattern is only found in 0.3% of the world's languages. This is called anastrophe, in which the normal word order of the subject, the verb, and the object is changed.

The Jedi Master Yoda was the best-known member of a species whose true name is not recorded. Known in some sources simply as Yoda's species, this species of small carnivorous humanoids produced several well-known members of the Jedi Order during the time of the Galactic Republic.
Utilizing OSV in English creates anastrophe (Greek for “turned around”). The creators of Yoda's character did their homework and realized the OSV word order would stand out as backward-sounding, while still making sense to fans.
Some decided that this is just the way his species speaks (a species that is still draped in mystery), but now fans know it's not that simple. In the latest issue of his ongoing comic, Yoda proves that he can speak 'normally', but actively chooses to speak in his now-iconic fashion.
Thus, Yoda's bizarre way of speaking was designed to highlight what he was saying. Yet it was also designed to make sure that viewers weren't stuck reading subtitles the whole time. That way, Yoda could sound like an alien while still technically speaking English.
Genius-Level Intellect/Master Tactician/Leader: Being over eight hundred years old, Yoda is amazingly intelligent and wise. As a Jedi General and leader of the Jedi Order, Yoda is a highly skilled tactician and a very capable leader.
Yoda's age at death, a hasty 900 years old, reveals the absurd constancy of his species. This fantastic life span sheds ablaze on the mysteries of the Star Wars universe. His continued activity accustomed him to coach endless Jedi, including the allegorical Luke Skywalker.
Jedi don't have a language of their own, they're going to speak Galactic Basic, which uses Aurebesh (same in both continuities), as well as essentially the English alphabet but referred to as High Galactic (and yes, the High Galactic alphabet far predates Disney-Lucasfilm's High Republic publishing initiative).
It is theorized that Yoda's grammar is very similar to how ancient humans spoke in 50,000 B.C. Yoda tends to structure his sentence in the object-subject-verb agreement manner instead of our modern way of structuring sentences with the subject-verb-object agreement.
Of course, pretty much everything that Yoda says sounds both cryptic and not-quite-grammatically-correct to traditional English speakers. But his seemingly bizarre sentence structure is actually totally legitimate.
Given that Grogu, Yoda, and Yaddle are the only known canon members of their species, it makes sense why some would try to draw a connection between the three of them. While Star Wars hasn't disproved the theory, it's highly unlikely that Yoda or Yaddle were Grogu's biological parents.
Din Grogu (/ˈɡroʊɡu/), colloquially referred to as Baby Yoda, is a character from the Star Wars Disney+ original television series The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett. He is a toddler member of the same species as the Star Wars characters Yoda and Yaddle, with whom he shares a strong ability in the Force.
Minch Yoda, known by most as simply just Yoda, was a legendary Groglyn male who was regarded as one of the most renowned and powerful Jedi Masters in the history of the Jedi.

Legend had it that Yoda—a Jedi who became Grand Master—was trained by N'Kata Del Gormo. A Force-sensitive Hysalrian, N'Kata Del Gormo was trained in the ways of the Force and achieved the rank of Master within the Jedi Order.
He's also remembered a time when Count Dooku opposed his decision about a Padawan's visions. Now, in Issue #7, he remembered another story. It was about a time when he and Anakin teamed up to take down a secret Separatist plot, and he revealed that he could speak perfectly normal.
