Some say it’s about glossolalia, a phenomenon of language in which invented and usually unintelligible words are used; Others say that it is rather ancient sumerian, a dead language very easy to learn just by watching certain videos on YouTube. This language was spoken in the south of old Mesopotamia from the year 4,000 BC.
After this woman came out speaking a supposed alien language, the official Duolingo site at Twitter expressed the following: “I don’t know, that sounded like Klingon.” Klingon is the language of the extraterrestrial creatures that bear the same name in the popular television series Star Trek.
