* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2'': a side quest reveals that, at least in this game, the Nopon choose to speak in their broken English in order Nopon's speech patterns were tailored specifically to play up their cuteness and manipulate humans. It was started by a Nopon ship captain and the entire race followed suit. It is unclear whether current-day Nopon are capable of speaking normally and each intentionally choose to speak like this for this reason, or if this change naturally became a part of Nopon culture and the original reason and purposefulness was lost to the average Nopon long ago.
