Designing an Alien Language
So, I'm making an alien language! More specifically, in a film I'm working on these aliens are supposed to be making alien noises (their language) and there are subtitles translating it into English. They do have a verbal language, but I don't want to just make a cheesy "Gleep glorbk" as their language. Not human phonetic sounds. Something different, like how Geonosians sound in Star Wars Attack of the Clones
Any ideas from anyone of any weird or cool noises I could make? I was even thinking maybe Google Translating the English script text into a bunch of different languages and then have someone try to read it (which will sound barely English or any other language anymore) and then digitally modify it? Just a cool thought.

Just a thought. Star Trek Discovery, the series has a boatload of stupid Klingons talking all the time, especially in the first episode. Just record some of that and Bob's your uncle. You could add a speed up or slow down to the sound also.
Just a thought.
@DataDesign mmm that seems a bit legally questionable haha. But, that gives me an idea! I could use Google Translate or Klingon dictionaries (or even Elvish from LOTR!) and then digitally alter it to make it not sound like human noises.
@HeySiri Recently ran across an article that the noises of Baby Yoda in The Mandalorian are a weird mix of a Kinkajou, a Bat Ear fox and a human baby. You might scour Youtube for animal noise and blend in Audacity.

Gakth makth gecha gechre.
and merry Christmas to you.
@DataDesign what language was that haha
@HeySiri
It sounded better in my head, but was Klingon. All the ch and k sounds are like clearing your throat.
