** [[Played With]] in the case of the Nostraman language. It began as a gutter tongue spoken only by the inhabitants of a planet sized [[Wretched Hive]], and during the Great Crusade aproximately 30,000 members of the [[God-Emperor]]'s loyal [[Space Marine|Astartes]] spoke it as a birth language. However, the only surviving speakers following the [[Earthshattering Kaboom|destruction]] of the planet are the now Chaos legion of [[Night Lords]] and their slaves/servants.
* Parodied in ''[[Exalted]]''. The Abyssals, who, when enacting their darkest rituals, ritually atoning for misbehavior, or otherwise communing with their Neverborn masters, will often speak in a disturbing, nigh-unpronouncably ominous tongue that seems to have all the traits of the Black Speech...until the Abyssals [[Splat|splatbook]] reveals that it's complete gibberish that doesn't actually mean anything.
* In ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'', the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7ixdHQj3O4 language of the Phyrexians] appears to be this. In actuality, the spoken part is just gibberish that Wizards is passing off as phyrexian, because Wizards decided to not devote the resources to have employees learn the language. The written part however, is a [[Constructed Language]]. They hired a linguist.<ref>[[Word of God]]:http://community.wizards.com/content/forum-topic/3008221 (Brady_Dommermuth)</ref>
