* The cryptophasia version appears in the Mayfair fratello ''Manga/GunslingerGirl'' fanfics, where a couple of Agency cyborgs who are twins have developed their own language even though they are adults [[NeuralImplanting who already speak several languages]]. It's pointed out that there's a simple explanation; it's so they can communicate in private in an environment [[BigBrotherIsWatchingYou where they are under constant surveillance]].

* The Tibble Twins on ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' do this often, competing with each other and often getting into fights.

* ''Literature/{{Duumvirate}}'': Dumumvirate bicker duo-style, without sentence-finishing.

* [[NationsAsPeople Ame]][[LoveFreak rica]] and [[ShrinkingViolet Canada]] get to do this occasionally in ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'', when they're alone together and America happens to remember he has a brother. Though there's usually a [[BoisterousBruiser clear winner]] there, With a notable exception. That one exception is the time Canada made America [[CryCute cry]] by [[TheLongList listing off everything he didn't like about him]].

* Also from Heinlein, [[ThemeTwinNaming Castor and Pollux Stone]] from ''Literature/TheRollingStones''. Castor, 20 minutes older than his brother, often calls Pollux "Junior", while Pollux calls Castor "Grandpa" in return. They insult, prank, and mock fight each other regularly enough that they have a ritual ("Even-Steven!") for formally calling a truce. They also routinely alternate lines when talking to anyone else, and are basically inseparable.

* In ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'', Jim and Tim Possible have... exactly ''one'' call-and-response ("Ikka bikka boo?" "Boo-sha!", basically "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" and agreeing to do that thing) phrase that's all we hear of a "weird twin language".

TruthInTelevision, especially with twins of the same gender, as sharing one room and being in the same grade means they spend much more time together than average siblings. For that matter, some sets of twins develop a language specific to themselves that no one else understands. The technical term for this is ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptophasia cryptophasia]]''.

* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'': Lillie, Millie & Tillie Heyday speak in unison and finish each other's sentences, though Tillie is more prone to sarcastically banter with her sisters since she's more practically minded. They've actually practiced this to help them with their pranks.
