Simlish

Hi!

I love playing SIMS and I found out that the language the SIMS speak is called "Simlish". Does anyone knows a place where I can learn it?

I thought most of the words for that was on the wikipedia page..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simlish <--
But there's also a Dictionary

Hehe, I once memorized all the sounds they make, good times

Yup, I already knew that, but as far as I can see, there is no website to learn it nor a grammar. If anyone knows anything, please tell us.

But, if there is no grammar, I think we could see the sentences at the wiki and at the dictionary and we could try to figure out some rules (it has been done when no one knew nothing about Na'vi and the great members of this community have searched and listened to the sentences and found a few important rules). Couldn't it be done with Simlish, too? I would help.

But isn't Simlish just some random sounds? That's what I thought

No, as far as I know, it is not.

I read somewhere (at the Portuguese wikipedia) that tha language has random sound but they have consistency, so I think it is not completely random...

I thought it was random too, but resembling some languages in sound. And if you think about how much phrases are repeated, I doubt they developed very much of it. But if you find anything, do keep us updated

I will work on it, trying to get something.
