** ''VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies'' has the Jambastion language, which mostly consists of altered words from English, Japanese, and other languages (for example, "bonjam" is "hello", "jambuhbye" is "goodbye", "jawaii" is "cute", and "jamanke" is "thank you"). We don't see very much of the full language in action, but its sentence structure appears more similar to Japanese than English.

* In ''Series/{{Encantadia}}'', the inhabitants of the eponymous world speak a language called Encanta, which is inspired by both the Filipino language and Romance languages such as English.

** While it's nowhere near a complete language, the series does have a recurring collection of prefixes, affixes, and suffixes used in the naming of various enemies that have fairly clear meanings like stal- (skeletal), -mos- ([[SandIsWater swims through dirt]]), and -fos (humanoid).

->'''Detective Gaff:''' Monsieur, azonnal kövessen engem bitte.\\
'''Sushi Chef:''' He say you under arrest, Mr. Deckard!\\
'''Deckard:''' ...Tell him I'm eating.

* ''Franchise/StarWars'': In ''Series/TheMandalorian'' and ''Series/TheBookOfBobaFett'', the Tusken Raiders use a sign language. A hearing person on the team who knew sign language mentioned that a deaf person should consulted. That person became Creator/TroyKotsur. He developed the language, and he also played the lead Tusken Raider.

** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'' adds [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Dragon_Language Dovahzul]], the language of the Dragons. It is also a LanguageOfMagic, where the words can actually be used to slightly [[RealityWarper alter reality]]. With sufficient understanding, certain words can be [[MakeMeWannaShout shouted]] to produce magical effects such as conjuring fire, cold, or wind; slowing time; or pushing an enemy away. This ability is known as the Thu'um. The PlayerCharacter is a Dragonborn or "Dovahkiin", a mortal born with the immortal Aedric (loosely [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Angelic]]) soul of a dragon. With it comes an innate understanding of the dragon language and mastery of the Thu'um. The main theme song for ''Skyrim'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7oUk9WizNc "Dovahkiin"]], as well as the endgame theme song, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waEFUEHjRqQ "Sovngarde"]], are sung in it. It also has it's [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Dragon_Alphabet own alphabet]], consisting of 34 letters of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuneiform pseudo-cuneiform]], based on scratches with dragon-claws. The grammar of the language bears some similarities to German: simple concepts are a single syllable, with multi-syllabic words being compounds of several single-syllable words. Still, there are some completely alien concepts: there are no tenses, and at the base level there are only nouns and verbs, requiring compounding for anything else.

* The cast of the movie ''Film/{{Caveman}}'' (except for one Asian guy, who speaks English for some reason) communicates in a made-up language that has maybe two dozen words in it, not counting personal names. There is no real grammatical structure, as there are no sentences spoken with more than three words in them, and these sentences can mean different things depending on context. For example, 'Nya ool' (literally: 'No food') can mean things like 'There is no food', 'I do not have food', or 'This is not food'.
* In ''Film/TheDarkCrystal'', the Pod People speak a language of the "foreign conversion" variety. It mostly uses Serbian words (or Croatian, or Bosnian - they're very similar languages), but is pronounced with an accent more akin to Russian.

* For ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld'', a language for the Dark Elves was developed by linguist Creator/DavidJPeterson. (see the Live-Action TV folder for more of his work.)

* ''Literature/TailchasersSong'' has each animal having its own native tongue, though some animals can learn each others tongues. The book comes with a glossary at the back to help readers understand the terminology. For example, "fela" means "female [cat]" and comes from "Fela Skydancer", the first female cat created by Meerclar Allmother.

* ''{{Series/Beforeigners}}'' features a number of people from the mesolithic era being inexplicably transported to the present day. The show's creators devised an elaborate conlang to represent the language spoken by the Prehistorians in Norway. The creators themselves have a background in linguistics and sociology, plus they hired experts to consult on the series and come up with a plausible-but-alien-sounding Mesolithic conlang.

** He reified the Dothraki language for the 1st season of HBO's ''Series/GameOfThrones''. For the 3rd season he also reified High Valyrian, including several rules to transform it into different dialects of Low Valyrian, and improved it further for ''Series/HouseOfTheDragon''. It's reached the point where Creator/GeorgeRRMartin consults ''him'' on the fragments he puts in later books.

* On Music/{{Enya}}'s album ''Amarantine,'' about a quarter of the songs are in the ConLang "Loxian", said to be from a distant planet.

** There is the very harsh and alien-sounding Phyrexian language created by a professional linguist. It can only be heard in two promo videos and seen on a handful of cards. Despite this, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWiuoRpFBgY one fan]] was able to accurately translate a leaked Phyrexian card before the English version was revealed.

* ''VideoGame/StarFox'' introduced the Dino language (also called Saurian) in ''VideoGame/StarFoxAdventures'' which is used on Dinosaur Planet (Sauria in ''VideoGame/StarFoxAsssault''). It is a cipher language. More info here: [[http://saurian.krystalarchive.com/ Saurian Translator]]

* ''WebVideo/OatsJenkis'' more moflang than conlang but we dont have moflang (in letters not words) trope alphabet 2.0 all s are cool s a and e and is ae and in qwerty order
