They are touch-telepathic. Their cultural practice is to read a person's mind upon meeting, exploring their experiences to better understand them. Instead of privacy, they hold "forgetting" sacred. Before the conversation ends, they come to an agreement about what may be remembered by both parties. | They are touch-telepathic.

As mentioned in the Telepathy section the Endaasi do not have a spoken language but they communicate with telepaths. In cases of talking to a group, the Endaasi have several options. | |||
*In a few chosen locations across the planet a newly developed tool is installed in tables and it is not mobile, which translates the Endaasi brain waves into speech. | |||
**There are not many of these Comm Padds, so they are not everywhere, just in certain key locations of necessity | |||
**"''Squash-O placed a hand on his commpad, and “spoke.” His thoughts travelled through his hand, and onto the commpad. The pad connected to a conduit, filled with spiked electrolytic gel and signal boosters. Each researcher received the message through their commpads. Limited to touch telepathy, the Endaasi solution was to simply extend the range of touch. It had its limitations, of course: no way to direct thoughts to one person over another, no way to moderate the comm lines. Just a simple physical connection between Endaasi. But it was easier than gathering everyone together to hold hands. The invention of commpads eventually lead to Endaasi mind-computer interfaces, like their talkboxes. Of course, as an experimental and resource-intensive technology, there were precious few of those on Endaasi.''" ~ Squash-O/Lazarus Davis | |||
*Holding hands as a group so that thoughts can travel from person to person. | |||
