- The directors of the film Despicable Me actually wrote their own language for the Minions called Minionise.
- Some reports go so far as to say that every Minionese word has a specific meaning. However, a section from the production notes of the 2013 movie says the language is just gibberish with random foreign words thrown in.
- Viewers have also reported hearing the Minions use words from Hebrew, Japanese, Filipino, and Indonesian.
