'''Simlish''' is the language of the [[Sim]]s. Some say it may be a mixture of Ukrainian, Navajo and Tagalog{{fact}}, but this has not been confirmed. It might be possible to understand by studying the Sims' speech in certain situations. There isn't an official Simlish dictionary, but an unofficial dictionary (based on ''The Sims 2'') can be found [http://bbs.thesims2.ea.com/community/bbs/messages.php?&openItemID=item.2,item.43,item.61,item.41,item.23&threadID=8d04f2582c30dca38b0a2d07d28fb420&directoryID=2&startRow=1#5b3c9c18c3808d99f1e04c01fdb828ea here]. |

It is assumed that Simlish is the official language of [[SimNation]]. Sometimes English phrases are heard, most notably in ''[[The Sims]]'' where child Sims say "Mmm... yummy!" while eating food, and in ''[[The Sims 3]]'', where a female character on the KidZone [[television]] channel says "Well, hi there!". Sometimes in Late Night when a Mixologist serves a good drink, the Sim who drank it will say "awesome" in English. When watching the Sports Universe channel or playing Football on the computer, one of the announcers will say "Look at him go!" followed by Simlish. Rarely, French phrases, such as "bonjour" (hello) are heard. Also, when there is a child aging up with the [[Birthday Inferno Birthday Cake]], if there's another child on the lot, that child will distinctly say "Happy birthday!"'' if you listen very closely.

Simlish was created due to the fact that [[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. Wright did consider experimenting with Navajo, a Native American language, but decided that it would be better to use a "nonsense language" that couldn't be translated, because the meaning could be left to the player's imagination. |

''The Sims'' featured a lot more Simlish than ''SimCopter'' (the first game to feature it) and was also a lot clearer. Common phrases "ralalalalib bubaya", "commun snanna" and "o frazinnratt" This was created because EA couldn't change the Sims' language to the player's language due to limited budget and it will make them repetitive. |
|||
== Non-Simlish phrases == |
|||
''The Sims 2'' comes with better heard and newer phrases like "e wam". Common phrases are now "dej dej" and "ackabunad." Common greetings include "zune-zune" and "degg degg". When there's a problem, they will say "Shoo Flee" and "anaconda" a lot. When some female Sims walk by another Sim, their greeting will be "Ooh, voodoo!" Sometimes they'll say "Lick a rock!". When child female Sims drink juice, they sometimes say "Green iguanas flying in the sky." They reportedly swear sometimes. Much to the amusement of many players, pregnant Sims have been known to shout "[[WooHoo]]!" while giving birth. When female elders play at the poker table in ''[[Nightlife]]'', they will often say "Texas Goushem" which is probably a reference to Texas HoldEm (a type of poker card game). In the ''[[Pets]]'' expansion pack, when a Sim is teaching their dog to 'Shake' they will say 'shurb' repeatedly, obviously meaning that the word 'shurb' means 'shake'. |

On occasion, non-Simlish phrases are heard in the Sims games. |
|||
=== The Sims 3 === |
|||
''The Sims 3'' has the largest Simlish vocabulary. Common phrases are "teg teg", "swebsi madoo", "madoof napso!", "abondandlain... en som?", "hubble herni", "etne condoroley","shawbo glub", "zwitz zorg", "tippaha yooredful", "shabow", "sussel!", "ibzy biz ochoy", "ayba miyba mo!", "sa dooga", "ib ou!", "narbo puhzed", and "yargbo bay tazzle". Sims also shout "Shamo! Jatzkey!" or "Wala!" when they cannot reach a certain area (accompanied by a "no footsteps" speech bubble). The Sims 3 is also the first Sims game where you can adjust the Sim's voices to exactly how do you want them to sound. |

It has been stated that Sims in The Sims Medieval do not speak Simlish but rather a precursor to Simlish known as "Old Simlish". Compaired to modern Simlish, Old Simlish has a more elegant sound, and more closely resembles launguages such as French. The difference between Old Simlish and Simlish may be similar to the differences between modern English and Middle English. |

''The Sims 2'', having many celebrity players, features many renditions of popular songs sung by the original artists. Some have music videos created by EA such as Natasha' Bedingfield's Pocketful of Sunshine, Katy Perry's Hot 'n' Cold, Datarock's Fa Fa Fa, Lily Allen's Smile, and Aly & AJ's Chemicals React. However, there are also other songs that don't feature music videos but can be found in the game. |

The Veronica's When it All Falls Apart is one, together with Tata Young's Zoom. These could be found in various radio stations in the game, depending on the song's actual genre. |

Simlish is the language of the Sims. It is assumed that Simlish is the official language of SimNation.
There is no official Simlish dictionary, but an unofficial dictionary, based on The Sims 2, can be found here.
History
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. Wright did consider experimenting with Navajo, a Native American language, but decided that it would be better to use a "nonsense language" that couldn't be translated, because the meaning could be left to the player's imagination.[1]
Some say it may be a mixture of Ukrainian, Navajo, and Tagalog[2]}, but this has not been confirmed.
Non-Simlish phrases
On occasion, non-Simlish phrases are heard in the Sims games.
- In The Sims, when a child is eating food, he/she may say "Mmm... yummy!".
- In The Sims 3, a female character on the KidZone television channel says "Well, hi there!".
- Sometimes in Late Night when a Mixologist serves a good drink, the Sim who drank it will say "awesome" in English.
- When watching the Sports Universe channel or playing Football on the computer, one of the announcers will say "Look at him go!", followed by Simlish.
- Rarely, French phrases, such as "bonjour" (hello), are heard.
- When there is a child aging up with the Birthday Inferno Birthday Cake, if there's another child on the lot, that child will say "Happy birthday!", if you listen very closely.
- In The Sims 3, when child female Sims drink juice, they sometimes say "Green iguanas flying in the sky".
Appearances in The Sims
The Sims
The Sims featured a lot more Simlish than SimCopter (the first Maxis game to feature Simlish), and was also a lot clearer. Some common phrases are "ralalalalib bubaya", "commun snanna", and "o frazinnratt", but the number of available phrases were limited, which led to some repetition.
The Sims 2
The Sims 2 comes with better heard and newer phrases like "e wam". Common phrases are now "dej dej" and "ackabunad." Common greetings include "zune-zune" and "degg degg". When there's a problem, they will say "Shoo Flee" and "anaconda" a lot. When some female Sims walk by another Sim, their greeting will be "Ooh, voodoo!" Sometimes they'll say "Lick a rock!". They reportedly swear sometimes. Much to the amusement of many players, pregnant Sims have been known to shout "WooHoo!" while giving birth. When female elders play at the poker table in Nightlife, they will often say "Texas Goushem" which is probably a reference to Texas HoldEm (a type of poker card game). In the Pets expansion pack, when a Sim is teaching their dog to "Shake", they will say "shurb" repeatedly.
The Sims 3
The Sims 3 has the largest Simlish vocabulary. Common phrases are "teg teg", "swebsi madoo", "madoof napso!", "abondandlain... en som?", "hubble herni", "etne condoroley","shawbo glub", "zwitz zorg", "tippaha yooredful", "shabow", "sussel!", "ibzy biz ochoy", "ayba miyba mo!", "sa dooga", "ib ou!", "narbo puhzed", and "yargbo bay tazzle". Sims also shout "Shamo! Jatzkey!" or "Wala!" when they cannot reach a certain area (accompanied by a "no footsteps" speech bubble).
The Sims 3 is also the first Sims game where you can adjust the Sim's voices to sound exactly as you want them to sound.
The Sims Medieval
It has been stated that Sims in The Sims Medieval do not speak Simlish, but rather a precursor to Simlish known as "Old Simlish". Compared to modern Simlish, Old Simlish has a more elegant sound, and more closely resembles languages such as French. The difference between Old Simlish and Simlish may be similar to the differences between modern English and Middle English.
Simlish Songs
The Sims 2, having many celebrity players, features many renditions of popular songs sung by the original artists. Some have music videos created by EA, such as Natasha' Bedingfield's "Pocketful of Sunshine" or Katy Perry's "Hot 'n' Cold". However, there are also other songs that don't feature music videos but can be found in the game, such as The Veronica's "When it All Falls Apart" or Tata Young's "Zoom". These songs can be found in various radio stations in the game, depending on the song's genre.
The Sims 2 for the PC is not the only game that features Simlish songs. Paramore's "Pressure" could be heard in The Sims 2 for the PS2, and various Black Eyed Peas songs are heard in The Urbz: Sims in the City, where the band is one of the prominent NPC characters found in Cosmo Street. There's also a Simlish version of "Time Bomb", performed by All Time Low, that can be heard in The Sims 3: Generations trailer.
Some of these songs are only available on Sims radio when certain expansion packs are installed. Ones with music videos often give clues to which expansion pack they are found in, such as Hot 'n' Cold (Apartment Life), Pocketful of Sunshine (Freetime), Fa Fa Fa (Freetime), and Smile (Seasons).

In non-English versions of Spore, Simlish is spoken by Steve and "the voice in the tunnel". The Simlish used is the same no matter what non-English language it is.
MySims Series
In the MySims series, the Sims speak Simlish when talking to each other or expressing an emotion.
Trivia
- Sometimes while using the design table in The Sims 3: Ambitions, your Sims will write words in English (see the image on the left).
In this case, it says "Missing Texture."
