Simlish
Simlish is a fictional language featured in EA Games' ''Sim'' series of games. It debuted in ''SimCopter'', and has been especially prominent in ''The Sims'' franchise. Simlish can also be heard in ''SimCity 4'', ''SimCity Societies'' and ''SimCity 2013'', but far less frequently. Civilized Creatures in ''Spore'' can also be taught to speak Simlish. It is also featured to an extent in Firaxis Games' ''Sid Meier's SimGolf''. Simlish was created because Will Wright, creator of The Sims, knew that the game needed dialogue, but thought that using real life languages such as English would cause the dialogue to be repetitive and would be expensive translating the entire dialog Sims may say.
Initially, inspired by the Navajo code talkers of World War II, ''Sims'' creator Will Wright and language expert Marc Gimbel suggested experimenting with the Navajo language to create Simlish. However, they ultimately decided against this because of the difficulty in finding Navajo voice actors. They also decided that Simlish worked best as a "language" made up of gibberish words that couldn't be translated, so that its meaning would be left open to the imagination of the player.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Sims Bustin' Out Designer Diary #3 )〕 Wright later commented that using "nonsense language" turned out to be the right development choice, as people were capable of imagining it more realistically than a computer could simulate a real one. The actual sound of Simlish was created improvisationally by voice actors Stephen Kearin and Gerri Lawlor.
==Music==
Sims have been able to listen to Simlish music on their cheap boomboxes or fancy stereos since its inception; since ''Hot Date'', they have also heard music on wall speakers on Community lots.
In ''The Sims: House Party'' and ''The Sims: Vacation'', Sims sing campfire songs. They are sung to the tune of "She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain", "Michael Row the Boat Ashore" and "On Top of Old Smoky". Lyrics for these songs were posted on the official website. A free full-length soundtrack album for ''The Sims: Superstar'' has also been released for download (complete with cover art), with several tracks sung in Simlish.
