Line 513:
* ''[[Arc Rise Fantasia]]'' has a handful of very short songs sung by Ryfia and another Diva, which they use for various purposes, including as their attacks in battle. Each one of these is in a significant-sound and very pleasant, but completely gibberish "language."
* Originally Kim Kaphwan from ''[[Fatal Fury]]'' and ''[[The King of Fighters]]'' was going to be called Kim Haifon, which admittedly sounds cool but is not a possible Korean name.
* ''[[Nie RNieR]]'': The soundtrack has lots of indeterminantly-foreign sounding gibberish, most prominently in the recurring theme "Song of the Ancients". Devola, who sings it around the village, says that it's in a language that has been long forgotten otherwise and no one knows what the lyrics actually mean, since the song is so old.
** The residents of Facade also speak in a language that was apparently created by shuffling hiragana around, which sometimes makes it sound like actual Japanese.
* ''[[Pokémon Colosseum]]'' has characters whose names go from just slightly off normal names to a random string of letters.
