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.

    There are plenty of things in “Dutch”, a fictional language based on the Netherlands.

    Star Trek will occasionally throw out the full speech Klingon, but they are usually subtitled…

    Just watch a foreign movie mate. Smth in a language you do not know.

    PS. Otherwise look at English ones in the way Tolkien intended. Its translated for you from a fictional language.

      Lord of the Rings purports to be a translation of the fictitious Red Book of Westmarch, with the English language in the translation representing the Westron of the original, translators need to imitate the complex interplay between English and non-English (Elvish) nomenclature in the book.

    ICO and Shadow of the Colossus don’t have a lot of dialogue, but what they have is in a fantasy language with subtitles for you to understand

    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

    You covered all kinds of media but music, but Enya sings in a made-up language, but not exclusively. Just five songs are in Loxian, a language her songwriter made up for her after she did the song from Lord of the Rings (with some lyrics in Elvish or whatever the Tolkien language is). So she wanted a language that would suit her style and her songwriter made one for her.

    The cool thing is, they wrote this whole sci-fi backstory for it about how the Irish go to space, to the moon, and they jump to a faraway galaxy. Also, Enya only sings the water dialect of Loxian — they have a dialect for each of the four natural elements.

    The Enya songs in Loxian are:

    • Less Than a Pearl
    • The River Sings
    • Water Shows the Hidden Heart
    • The Forge of the Angels
    • The Loxian Gate

    The first three are on the album Amarantine; the last two are on Dark Sky Island. IMO Loxian Gate is the best of the lot, followed by The River Sings. If you listen on Apple Music or something that, you can watch the lyrics go by as she sings them, but it will not translate them. There are translations online, though.

    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).
