Fictional Languages: Simlish

I’ve been playing The Sims for almost 15 years… It is an amazing game and it has taught me tens of English words when I was a teenager. 🙂 For those who doesn’t know The Sims, it is a strategic life simulation video game series developed by Maxis and later by The Sims Studio, and published by Electronic Arts. It is one of the most successful video games series of all time. As of May 2011, the franchise has sold more than 150 million copies worldwide, and is also the best-selling PC franchise in history.

The characters you create speak a language you can catch a glimpse of English, French, Turkish, Arabic and many other major languages. I strongly recommend you to try this game, I’m sure you’ll love this fantasy world you create!

Here is a BTS video about “Simlish”:

Fictional Languages: Parseltongue

Harry, Voldemort, Snape… You know what I mean- they can all speak parseltongue. Aren’t we so convinced that parseltongue is a real language like other fictional languages. I just cannot believe this! 🙂 I even found a machine translator that can translate from English to parseltongue. It is amazing to see how people such an effort in fictional languages… Here is the website: http://www.theparselmouth.com/

For those who are not familiar with parseltongue, here is a video by Snape:

Fictional Languages: Languages of Arda

There are tens of fictional languages that are most common than the rest of the “real” languages spoken by “real” communities. 🙂 Linguistically, they all have their logical structure and vocabulary and they attract thousands of people! 🙂 Yeah, I’m talking about the languages we see in famous movies and science fiction literature.

Today, I want to introduce “languages of Arda”! Here is short explanation by http://www.listverse.com

The above term is used to describe the many fictional languages invented by J.R.R. Tolkien for The Lord of the Rings and other works taking place in Middle-Earth. This was done out of a desire to give real linguistic depth to names and places that Tolkien felt were lacking in fantasy and science fiction. The two most mature of these languages are Quenya (High-Elvish – heard in the video clip above) and Sindarin.

The depth and complexity of these two languages are incredible, as demonstrated by their influence on Middle-Earth culture and other Middle-Earth languages. What is even more amazing is the sheer number of languages Tolkien created for his world, with each race having dozens of offshoots and dialects.
