The article analyzes the methods of creating constructed languages for religious needs in the past, and now for the needs of science fiction and cinema as actively developing due to scientific and technological progress in areas of culture. Based on the study of well-known sources, including historical ones, the principles of creating constructed languages for beings with human speech apparatus have been studied. Special attention is paid to fantastic alien creatures that come to life through cinematography, and therefore are in dire need of the realism of the images created. Methods of creating constructed languages for fantastic alien creatures with a human speech apparatus are proposed using the example of the voice apparatus of intelligent birds. The ideas of constructing such a language are presented based on the analysis of the sonograms of Moscow nightingales.
