3. In 2000, 'The Sims' was released. It was developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts and went on to become one of the best-sellers of all time. What artificial language is used in the game?

Answer: Simlish

'The Sims', and its predecessor, 'Sim Tower' were some of the first video games that I played. Sims were little 'people' that could be controlled and instructed in many aspects of life- buying houses and cars, getting a job, exercising, raising a family, and even dying. Their language, Simlish, is deliberately incomprehensible, supposedly to avoid boring repetition. Other languages were considered, such as Navajo, Ukrainian or Estonian, but they all would have presented the same problem, so Simlish was invented.

Hylian is the invented language used in 'The Legend of Zelda'. Rotokasis a real language, spoken in a small area of Papua New Guinea, and Simplicity is a dress-making pattern.
