History PlayingWith / SpeakingSimlish

* '''Zig-Zagged''': The work had no dialogue at all. The sequel added voices, but due to an error, it turned every character into TheUnintelligible. The third sequel turned this into full-out SpeakingSimlish. Then the original work was remade with actual voices that speak English.

* '''Parodied''': ???

** "We can't find any good voice actors and want to finish this game by the end of the year, so we might as well make the verbal dialogue gibberish."

* '''Double Subverted'': It turns out the characters were not speaking English at all; they just speak gibberish that slightly sounds a bit like English.

'''Basic Trope''': Characters in a video game speak voice-acted gibberish instead of actual language.
* '''Straight''': Everybody speaks a gibberish language.
* '''Exaggerated''': Everybody speaks using inhuman sounds.

* '''Justified''': The game takes place in a different world, where languages share nothing in common with our world's languages.
* '''Inverted''': Everyone, even babies, speaks perfect English. [[AliensSpeakingEnglish Aliens too!]]
* '''Subverted''': The characters are speaking an actual language, just not the same one as the text of the game.
* '''Double Subverted''': The language was one [[ConLang constructed purposely for the game]], and isn't very complete outside the game dialogue.
* '''Parodied''': This trope... In a SitCom.
* '''Zig Zagged''': The first game had no voice acting. The sequel game tried to add voice, but due to audio compression it was entirely [[TheUnintelligible unintelligible]]. The third game turned this into full-out SpeakingSimlish, but during development a second team started remaking the first game with full voice acting.
** Characters speak normally if they're supposed to speak English, a heavily accented English if they're supposed to be speaking their native language while the main character the action is focused on is fluent in their language, and simlish gibberish that [[AsLongAsItSoundsForeign only sounds like their native language]] if the action is following a character whom is not fluent in it.

** The game is fully voiced in English.
** The game has no voice acting at all.

** "We want to add voice acting to this game, but there's not enough memory to hold all the lines."

** "We don't have the budget to hire voice actors for all our target languages, so instead lets have them talk a gibberish (and spend what we save on voice acting costs on improving their body-language)."
* '''Lampshaded''': "It's a good thing we have these text boxes, otherwise I'd have no idea what you're saying!"

* '''Exploited''': In an RPG where you can spend skill points to learn languages, someone speaking in a language you haven't spend skill points on learning will be rendered this way. If you do have the proper skill points in languages, they will be speaking normally. That way, the developers don't deal with the hassle of creating a fictional language.
* '''Defied''': ???
* '''Discussed''': "What a fascinating language, you can say a million different things with the same five phrases."
* '''Conversed''': ???
* '''Deconstructed''': The setting acknowledges that the characters have no verbal language and have to resort to signing to communicate.
* '''Reconstructed''': Characters manage to convey information through the tone of speech rather through the meaning of words.
* '''Played For Laughs''':
** Simlish is used in a very dramatic scene.
** Some Simlish words sound like rude English slang.
