** Corpus language was initially technological and mechanical sounding gibberish, but were given a proper language early in the game's life cycle. Said language is heavy on the consonants, with interchangeable syllables in spoken language when translated from English, leading to gibberish like "Je yette pke Yotkuy. Je ate pke Yotkuy." (We serve the Corpus. We are the Corpus.) or "Jatttasey!" ([[OhCrap Warframes]]!), as well as slight dialect changes depending on region. Intriguingly, Corpus capture targets, Eximus units, and bosses also speak English, with the implication that [[SubvertedTrope Corpus language is normal speech filtered through their helmets to keep enemies from overhearing them]].

* In ''{{Series/Lucifer}}'', South African languages are used by demons (technically, just by Mazikeen but aimed to her siblings); for the most part, it's Afrikaans, native for Lesley-Ann Brandt and used by her in several occasions, once also a phrase in Zulu for which actress had to consult with a friend.

(No activity to report). [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], as the Grineer are a race of clones who suffer from severe CloneDegradation, it's a miracle most of them are able to speak at all.

* Named for the language of Mordor in ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' (books and movies). "The Black Speech" is a brutal-sounding language full of guttural throat-growls and spits and snarls, extremely unpleasant and alien to the more pleasant languages. Moreover, like many things created by Sauron it seems to incorporate some of his spirit and power: at the Council of Elrond in Rivendell, Gandalf repeats the Ring-inscription in the original Black Speech. His voice becomes harsh and cruel, while the sky grows dark and the Earth trembles. A fan once gave Tolkien a goblet with the inscription from the ring in Black Speech as a gift, but he found the message in those words so ugly and ominous that he couldn't bring himself to drink out of it. He wound up using it as an ashtray. [[note]]WordOfGod is that he had Irish Gaelic in mind, a language he found utterly unlovely. Compare to Welsh, which Tolkien explicitly drew upon in developing Sindarin (a language of the Elves noted for its silvery elegance).[[/note]]
