Language games in the Gibberish family are not unique to English-speaking countries. Gibberish games in other languages include:
- Swedish: Allspråket (Identical to Pig Latin, but with the suffix "-all" rather than "-ay".)
- Finnish: Konttikieli, Vedkieli
- French: Javanais (consonant + vowel ---> consonant + “av” + vowel), Louchébem (moving the first consonant to the end; add "-ème" at the end and then "L" at the beginning of the new word)
- German: Löffelsprache – infix "@ləf"
- Hebrew: "bet" language, "gimel" language (consonant is added after every vowel)
- Hungarian: Madárnyelv ("bird's-language") – infix "@v" or "@rg" (Tudsz így beszélni? → Tuvudsz ívígy beveszévélnivi?)
- Spanish (Latin America): Jerigonza – "@p*" (Hola mundo → Hopolapa mupundopo) efe language – "@f" (Hola mundo → Hofolafa mufundofo) or some variations like "@g@d": (Hola mundo → Hogodolagada mugudundogodo)
- Spanish (Venezuela): Cuti Talk - Using the prefix "cuti" before every syllable in the word. For instance: "Buenos Dias" would be: cutibu-cutie-cutinos cutidi-cutias.
- Portuguese: Língua do P/Língua dos PP/Língua dos Pês ("language of the Ps") – "p@" (Eu te amo → pEu pte papmo in Brasil; Epeupu Apamupu-tepe in Portugal)
- Romanian: Păsărească ("bird talk") – "@p*" (Bună ziua! → Bupunăpă zipiuapa!)
