* The scene in ''{{Film/Oppenheimer}}'' where the eponymous physicist gives a lecture in Dutch to the University of Leiden was so incomprehensible to Dutch speakers that many of them thought Creator/CillianMurphy was speaking German. There may be some TruthInTelevision to this, as the real Oppenheimer said that he didn't think his Dutch was very good, though the purpose of this scene was to impress upon the audience Oppie's intelligence.

* In ''Film/TheDarkCrystal'' the speech of the Podlings was vaguely based on the Serbo-Croatian language. Producer Gary Kurtz has noted that audience members fluent in Polish, Russian and other Slavic languages could understand some of those sentences.
