I just noticed while looking at the songs that they used the word Vous in place of you, as far as I know this is an instance where they used an actual language to make up simlish, not very important but it's worth noting.

PS if anyone can find a place where they used a foreign language in simlish I would like to know. Just one step closer to actually speaking simlish Lord Sunflash May the wind be at your back, matey!

How can we be sure what some of that stuff actually means...Like degg degg..Children say that when you enter CAS so how do we know that means goodbye? Huh?PlantsvsZombies 04:04, February 21, 2011 (UTC)

Old Simlish

In one of the recent webisodes for The Sims Medieval, the sound technictions and actors mentioned that medieval sims do not speak in 'simlish' but rather 'old simlish'. One of the actors deminstated this by first acting out a scene from the game in 'simlish' and them in 'old simlish', demonstrating that old simlish sounds very different. Do you think we should add a new section or even a new page talking about old simlish?KayO199X 18:47, March 14, 2011 (UTC)

I agree. Sounds good. --BobNewbie ^{talk • blog} 19:08, March 14, 2011 (UTC)

I'm glad you agree with me, i'll add what i know to this page, feel free to make improvments if you know anything else about Old Simlish.KayO199X 21:48, March 14, 2011 (UTC)

Military Command Word

If you take care of Military Career Sims. and zoom camera near any Fort that military sims work you can hear some word that can be a military command. I don't know how to spell these command but it's can traslate to English.

Marilyn Manson?

Just read through the History Paragraph and happened to see this;

'Simlish was created because Marilyn Manson, 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. Marilyn Manson 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.

Some say it may be a mixture of Ukrainian, Navajo, and Tagalog, but this has not been confirmed.'

Now, as much as I love Marilyn Manson's music, I certainly know he did not create the sims. Not quite sure how creditable the rest of the paragraph is, so someone might like to check that out, as well as see who edited this.

Also, wouldn't it be better to include in a history section which Maxis game first featured Simlish?

Good eye, looks to be vandalism from a couple of days ago that we missed. Thanks for reporting it! ―ฬђ ^talk 05:53, July 17, 2012 (UTC)

Citations!

"Known Simlish Translations" needs citations. How are these known? etc.TheArchduchessofCool (talk) 13:25, September 14, 2012 (UTC)

I totally agree, but I have no idea how we'll cite something that Sims speak. Sul sul and degg degg are the only widely known Simlish imo. Others are most likely by someone's assumption. Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 14:36, September 14, 2012 (UTC)

Yana?

Sometimes female sims talk to one another you hear something that sounds like the female given name Yana.Надія(hope),сла́ва (glory), Любов (love) (talk here) 16:25, November 11, 2012 (UTC) Lesya Zirka

Well, the word "Yana" was not invented by The Sims, as they have a lot of words that are the same as words from actual languages (it uses the programmers native languages and modifies them a bit, so some phrases might have meaning in other languages. They also have Anglophone interjections and accents.) It also can stand for "You Are Not Alone", which was a kinda-plot point in the "Utopia" episode-story of Doctor Who (which i do not actually watch, but i read about a lot.) Kaylabaraonda (talk) 12:28, November 10, 2013 (UTC) Kaiko

Pagecover?

Simlish is the basis of The Sims, but if we put a pagecover on this page what image should we place? Also, what games should we put as a lot of Sims games feature Simlish. Cavia (wheek • speak) 11:39, April 5, 2013 (UTC)

I'm not sure about this. Personally I'd say no, with several reasons:

1. We don't have any images to represent Simlish. Using that image of commercial on TV doesn't seem to fit with what we're referring to "Simlish".
2. The content in this article, IMO, is low in quality. Most of the content is fan-based theories, which we don't even know the validity of any facts.
3. This has been a common encounter where we use Era to any non game-specific articles/features, such as pregnancy, child, or burglar for example. There's no need to state every single game, because we all now these things are all common in each game. Therefore, pages like those don't even need era at all, I think.

Simlish alphabeth

I was loking to new pictures from The Sims 4 and on one ,I saw Simlish on Televidion , I tryed to decode it with Simlish alphabeth which Im using to my fanon ,and that alphabeth (by the way from internet) was right , on Tv is wrote THE TONIGHT SHOW !!!!

0_0 I don't get it. Simlish has had many different variations in the series, including The Sims 3. Even if the Simlish pattern appears to be consistent somehow, they're not supposed to mean anything (try deciphering the letters on the TV screen on top of this article)! But this screenshot is obviously a special case...

I'm under the impression that EA was too lazy to make up the pattern anymore, and instead installed the custom Simlish font and slapped it on the game. Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 13:54, June 10, 2014 (UTC)

Yes,you´re right,they have a lot of versions of Simlish . And they´re lazy to use one official -_-

~~Majo.mraz.9~~ 18:47 , 10. June , 2014

I've added this information to a new subsection in this page. I thought it's worth mentioning now. Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 06:58, June 14, 2014 (UTC)

Nooboo

I suspect that the reason they chose "Nooboo" to mean "Baby/Toddler" in The Sims is because "Nooboo" sounds sort of similar to "newborn". -- C.Syde (talk | contribs) 06:24, September 24, 2014 (UTC)

Chumcha

I was playing The Sims 2 during the holidays, and I had one of my Sims order chinese food. As the chinese food deliverer held out the food boxes, he said "Chumcha" which normally means pizza in Simlish.

Could it be that the developers were too lazy to make the voice actors record an entirely new Sim word? After all the pizzas and chinese food in the Sims 2 are delivered the same way. They differ only in the carpool logo, the type of food box, and the uniform the NPC wears. -- C.Syde (talk | contribs) 01:28, October 12, 2014 (UTC)

I wouldn't call them lazy but maybe "Chumcha" means takeaways or something else. Joey.eyeball (talk) 04:37, November 11, 2014 (UTC)

I wouldn't call them lazy either, but I was a little short of terms. -- C.Syde (talk | contribs) 05:14, November 11, 2014 (UTC)

New word!

In The Sims 1, if a female shooes someone, they say something that sounds like "Ah, fa fa! Ah, fa fa!". Should I add this to the page? 2.121.21.51 (talk) 12:31, November 16, 2014 (UTC)
