Five Awesome Fictional Languages That You Have Grown up With

Do you talk to yourself in Dothraki sometimes? You’re not alone. Here are five languages that don’t really exist but have been made up by some super creative minds:

1) Simlish

You must have played The Sims at least once in your life. Based on bits and pieces of Ukrainian, French, Latin, Finnish, Icelandic, English, Fijian, Cebuano, and Tagalog, this language has always fascinated me as a kid. They convey their feelings quite accurately through these nonsensical words — especially when they want to fight or “Woo-Hoo.” It never gets old.

2) Parseltongue

The iconic moment when Harry spoke Parseltongue in for the first time will never be forgotten. It was a time when Harry wondered whether he should have been in Slytherin after all. This slithery snake language has made our hair stand on end at multiple occasions during the movie and continues to do so (while sitting through Harry Potter marathons).

3) Minion Language

The Minion Language is voiced by the directors of Despicable Me and includes traces of French, English, Spanish and Italian. The “Minions” movie made me fall in love with the adorableness of this language all over again! It is SO FLUFFY!

4) Dothraki

All game of thrones fans will know this! Dothraki can sound really fierce when used during fights. Apparently, the creator of this language sound (for the TVC show) won a contest amongst hundreds of language inventors (yes language inventors exist). There are also more than 3000 words in the Dothraki dictionary.
