History Main / SpeakingSimlish

* While [[TranslationConvention Galactic Basic]] was fully voiced, all other languages in ''KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'' were done this way. While it was extremely expressive, it was also often quite a bit too long winded.
** Despite this, they clearly didn't record a LOT of it, since certain phrases repeated often enough that you could pretty clearly tell that they were being used for wildly different words and phrases each time.

* KnightsOfTheOldRepublic 1 and 2 have this with alien languages. They sound impressively coherent and similar to the (actual) languages used in the StarWars movies, but there's no actual meaning to the words being spoken. You'll notice the same sounds being repeated for different dialogue by the midway point of either game.

** Demonstrating what an ugly American this editor is, the NTSC N64 version sounded pretty much exactly like a fully voiced French dub.
*** Probably because the game's developers are (or at least were) based in France; it wouldn't be surprising if gibberish languages in American-produced games sounded like English to non-English speakers as well.
**** As someone who learned English after playing some games that featured this, I confirm your theory.

** Playing the game in spanish makes Animalese [[LuckyTranslation fairly understandable]].

* ''BeyondGoodAndEvil'' - Most of the lyrics to the vocal songs are Simlish-esque nonsense. According to the composer, he drew inspiration from languages such as English, Hungarian, and French for his "Simlish." Exception are the song "Spanish Bar/Fun and Mini-Games" is in actual Spanish, and "Akuda Bar Propaganda" uses Bulgarian ({{http://www.bgemyth.net/?page=plus_d_infos/creation_du_jeu/interview_christophe_heral/interview_christophe_heral.php}}).

* The NPCs in ''Civilization Revolution'' speak Simlish. The leaders' Simlish actually sounds a great like their actual language. Bismarck speaks German-sounding gibberish, Caesar speaks faux-Latin, and so on. Alexander the Great sounds (and looks) like a Southern California surfer dude. The advisors speak in more of a generic Simlish.

* The adorable walking eyeballs in the RhythmGame / WidgetSeries ''Patapon'' speak in vague-sounding syllables and sing the names of the drums you acquire over the course of the game as you play them.

* All residents of [[WidgetSeries Chulip]] (except the Silent Protagonist) speak vaguely Japanese-sounding Simlish.

* Done in ''{{Okami}}''. [[CaptainObvious Thought it's based around Japanese.]]

*** For ''Urbz: Sims in the City'', the Black Eyed Peas released the Simlish songs "Ga Ra Ta Da" ("Let's Get Retarded"/"Let's Get It Started") and "Friddy Dope" (I have no idea what song this is supposed to be).

* In LeagueOfGentlemen, Papa Lazarou speaks to his "wife" in a foreign language. She later reveals that she has been kidnapped, and she has no idea what he is saying, and can only respond with gibberish. Papa Lazarou doesn't seem to notice.

* Everyone who is [[spoiler:dead]] in {{Killer7}} speaks in an {{Engrish}} language with a computerized tone of voice. At some points in the game, you can tell what gibberish is supposed to mean what [[CatchPhrase (In The Name of Harman...)]]
