* ''[[Werewolf: The Forsaken]]'' uses many examples of the First Tongue, the language of the [[Spirit World]]. The creators have pretty much said it's generated by going back as far back into Proto-Indo-European language tree as possible and making a few detours on the way.
* [[Traveller]] has enough languages and sublanguages to cover thousands of worlds. To handle this a system is provided for random generation of words as well as sample words and details about linguistic style from various culture. However "Ganglic"(evolved English) is the common speech of trade and travel.
* Wizards of the Coast hired a linguist to make the phyrexian (or New Phyrexian if the current phyrexians don't speak the same language as the old ones) language. Phyrexia is a faction of [[Magic: The Gathering]]. Some things we do know about it are, the written form is vertical (top to bottom) and going by these videos, left to right (as thats the order words appear [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7ixdHQj3O4] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdDXMG9jvwg]. Because its a [[Starfish Language]] (probably of the [[Black Speech]] flavor), wizards didn't devote the resources to getting the verbal phyrexian part right in those videos (In other words what ''sounds'' like gibberish, is gibberish being passed off as phyrexian. In the second video, what sounds like english, is not phyrexian). They hired a linguist.<ref>[[Word of God]]:http://community.wizards.com/content/forum-topic/3008221 (Brady_Dommermuth)</ref>
