Sims speak a fictional language called Simlish. The language is nonsensical, and owes much to the improv comedians (Gerri Lawlor, Marc Gimbel and Stephen Kearin, among others) who provided impromptu utterances while recording voice-overs for the game.
While there is no direct translation for Simlish, many fans have attempted to record and create dictionaries of often-used words. Many have speculated that the Simlish language has a close resemblance to the Italian or Latin language, while others suggest that it resembles Japanese.
If the Makin' Magic expansion pack is installed before any other expansion packs, the language spoken by Sims is slightly different. [citation needed] The Sims Bustin' Out also features a slightly different Simlish lexicon that most notably uses "babyar" instead of "nooboo" to represent the term "baby".

They speak Simlish. The idea was to make the game globally marketable. When I played the Sim-like game Desperate Housewives, I actually had to get used to the characters speaking English. It tripped me out!

WRONG!
Well, kind of right. In-game, the language is called simlish. Rumor has it, though, that Sims actually speak fractured Ukranian. Not kidding.

LOL I agree, I often listen while my daughters are playing and just imitate their fantasy voices. I think it's made-up but wonder if some words are real in some languages.
