I'd like to say they actually consulted with a linguist back when they first started doing the original Nier OST to actually get a vague idea on what the phonetics of languages like French or German might look like after a stupidly long time...but I can't recall a precise source for that.


Based on this interview with the singer/lyricist, it sounds like most of the language stuff involved her approximating what the languages might sound like in the far future and then having friends who spoke those languages listen to see if it sounded okay.
