They're aliens with a galactic empire, they have universal translators that automatically convert incoming and outgoing language based on brainwave patterns or whatever. Easy.
@@crimsonlanceman7882 they probably have some thing where their language is universally understood oof. like if there were two people, one spoke french and the other german.. the irken language would come off as french to the french speaker and as german for the german speaker.

In the movie you can hear Zim saying "vamonos!" in one scene. what if irkens can detect langauges and download them from their pak or something lol
I never thought the language would sound like this.. honestly. There are way to many “s”’s in their words to sound like mumbling with no use of the tongue. I like to think it sounds more like Russian but with less aggravation and some taken out vowels..
Well human language is technically a collection of hisses, clicks, and grunts so it stands to reason that some language out there would he pure grunts.

@Daniel Lopes Lima I don’t think so, when the tallest introduced GIR to Zim, Zim asked GIR what the “G” stood for. GIR told him that he didn’t know. So, “IR” must be the standard name for Irken robots.
I kinda like that the show does this. They never show Zim speaking Irken because we are meant to be seeing the world through Zims eyes. Zim says what he wants to say in a language his intended recipient speaks. There’s no reason to change the language because Zim always knows what he’s saying.
I love the looks on Zim's and GIR's faces when they discover that Dib is watching them and recording them talking in their alien language on camera. Zim's all, "Oh, crud" and GIR's probably thinking like, "Masta, we's been caught!"
Looking at their biology, it likely has a lot more to do with body language and perhaps pheromone projection of some sort, let us not forget that Irkens are fairly insectoid, so the vagueness of the speech might be accentuated by the antennae and something else
+bella cameron i have a headcanon that zims pak has a universal translator and it learned english from being around english speaking people and learning second- hand
+Mauow I don't think so. Every Irken talked English on Irk, and none were aware of what Earth was. As Tallest Purple said when Zim sent his first transmission, "Earth? What is... _Earth?_"
I always imagined irken as more of a snakelike language, kinda like Parseltongue on Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. With the smooth, flowing words and everything. XD But I gotta admit, it'd be adorable if it sounded like a bunch of growling and shrieking.
@@YEOWCHMYARSE Obviously. The username who uploaded this video is Dib, so the person who made the comment tries to play one of the ignorant humans who doesn't believe in Dib's claims.

Do the prison guards or whatever also speak Irken or is it a separate language? And dose Zim speak Irken when he is pissed or just sometimes in private?
It is possible that he is speaking Irken, (after all, it's quite obvious that English is NOT his first language) but I think that those random grunts were just the writers/directors demonstrating his stupidity.
I think Irken and English are the same, Irkens just have a different alphabet, because on one episode the Tallests could understand Dib/Dib could understand the Tallests.
"Hunna huh, hunuh uh, hitta ha haw hurrr! Bleah-uhnuh uh...." "Bleah-uiai, eeeena-moni-moni, amoomi a miah ha ma mooi?" Sounds like two seperate languages, actually...
So who cares if he's an alien or not. It does not matter, but I believe extraterrestrials have rights. Why can't he just leave those poor aliens alone?
GothGirlXenon I think it's because Dib had been ridiculed all his life for believing in stuff like aliens so if he could get zim captured he could give himself some meaning.
I mean to dib, zim could very easily destroy his world, so he could be helping them. proving to the science platform that he was right and proving to his dad that paranormal is real would give him a huge boost even if it was at the cost of zim.
At last! True video evidence! Don't let the fools criticize you, Dib! The truth is out there! We mustn't let the supernatural forces of evil overtake us!
Whenever we see someone speaking Irkin, we hear it as english cuz subtitles would get annoying and tedious. But at that moment, hearing GIR and Zim speaking their own language actually stood to aid the plot, so they did that.
@XihatewobblygigglesX There is. That was part of the joke with how Zim would stammer over his words sometimes, that he had trouble with human languages. Unfortunately, Jhonen Vasquez thinks it's hilarious for all of his characters to talk like 3-year-olds, so it sort of fell short.
well, it wouldn't have been as you have said if you and Gir hadn't been caught talking on camera by Dib in your native language so much at Gir honestly, I don't even know how you can even put up with that malfunctioning robot of yours so much.
I’m guessing Zim speaks his language but is pak translates it to English or other human languages but for some reason the camera picks up his real language
In Backseat Drivers From Beyond The Stars, I think Purple spoke Irken at one point. It could have just been because he had food in his mouth, but it sounded exactly like this, and Red seemed to understand him pretty well
opaque organs I think it was just purple freaking out because it's purple. I figured that if there was an actual irken language they probably would've done it more.
It definitely means Garbage informational retriever. Watch the Nightmare Begins on UA-cam (the first episode ever) they actually say it when the tallest assemble him
GIR : "AND THEN I FLEW AWAY AND FOUGHT ALL OF THE BAD GUYS " _Show narrator : " WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING ? GIR : " ME AND THE SQUIRREL ARE FRIENDS ".
@travisplatypus actually there Irken PAKs allow them to communicate with other alien species inside of there PAKs they have a translator that translates any language so they can understand it within a few seconds of hearing the new language and speak it properly (cant say 100% for sure but my friend told me this it would make sense) and perhaps dib was using a translator while listeining to the irkens on his roof
I think the reason why they are speaking Irken here is so people will just think they’re just random sounds so they don’t bring attention to themselves.
lol everyones been trying to find meaning for years but the creators just add dumb things like this in for the sake of being dumb. That isn't irken, its just him grunting and saying gibberish. It's a cartoon. The "official" irken language depends on what country you watch this show in.
ATTENTION TO WHOEVER IS READING THIS: INVADER ZIM IS BACK ON NICKTOONS!! ... with only reruns, sorry to disappoint but LISTEN UP!! Invader ZIM is increasingly getting popular. In fact it was so popular that, according to Jhonen's web-diary, Nick had actually considered renewing the series. QUICKLY! Watch Invader ZIM on Nicktoons now and give the show high ratings so that it might get some animation company's attention and we may finally have our show back!
Maybe the lil Zim noises....are actually curse words in Irken or sumthin. Besides, it'd be totally annoying if they had them speaking irken on Irk during the Nightmare begins, and havin us all read subtiles. It's a TV trope I'm sure where the collective characters all speak the native language of their audience, but then change to another language when the minority is introduced to foriegn characters.
