You know how in fantasy worlds, its all english? Kinda breaks the immersion a bit. I wanna find something where they make it as realistic as possible, and make everything in a fictional language, basically using subtitles as the main way to understand the plot.
Lol the sims, which also is a completely learnable language.
But no, probably other better ones listed here.
Some of the DVD/Blu-ray versions of “GalaxyQuest” have the entire movie dubbed into the weird screeching alien language as a quirky bonus feature.
Thermian. One of the all-time greatest gags we lose in the streaming era.
Chants of Sannaar is a puzzle game where all of the text is written in a new language
Far Cry Primal is completely in the fictional We ja language.
Star Trek will occasionally throw out the full speech Klingon, but they are usually subtitled…
Some notable language-based games:
- Tunic
- Chants of Sennaar
- Heaven’s Vault
- I Mother (not released yet)
You haven’t experienced Shakespeare properly, until you’ve heard it in its original Klingon! /s
Some people stuggle to learn a second language their entire lives. These badasses did it for a gig!
Sigur Ros is a band that sings in a fictional language, I’m pretty sure. Not totally what you’re asking for but certainly in the spirit
There is a language In Final Fantasy X you don’t understand at first, but you learn new words as you talk to the people who speak it and then understand them more and more.
Technically it’s a cipher, BUT it’s also perfectly constructed to work as a language (by making the cipher easier - vowels only get replaced with vowels, consonants with consonants).
WallE?
NiGHTS into Dreams has its dialogue written entirely in a made up “dream language”, and that’s when it has dialogue at all. The sequel ditched this angle entirely though.
First thing that comes to mind is the video game Tunic, where the objective of the game is to decipher the language.
Secondly, Stargate (the movie) while not entirely or majorly in a fictional language, the alien characters speak their own language consistently, and part of the plot involves how they communicate. In the TV show they forego of that because it would be a pain to have new languages every episode, so you do have to suspend your disbelief for that, but the movie is golden in that regard.
Then there’s other stuff like Sims or Shadow of the Colossus where everything is in made up languages but it has no impact in the plot or mechanics.
Stray uses its own language. Your robot friend just translates it for you.
Poor entry here, but star wars knights of the old Republic did this for the aliens to save disk space on dialogue. The subtitles come up fine, because your character can speak all the languages, but the aliens have like 4 voice lines each they just repeat.
For music, you should listen to Sigur Ros. All their lyrics are in a made up language.
Many of their songs are in Icelandic actually, and a couple in English.
Oh shit, really?? My life has been a lie! Thanks for correcting me!
