Ooganese is the unofficial language of the Pygmy People invented by the members of the Pocket God Forums (http://s3.zetaboards.com/Pocket_God_Forums/index/). It is the language of Tribe Ookga Chaka . The Ooganese language is simple and always regular, making it an easy-to-understand and learn language.
It is entirely fictional and as of now not endorsed by Bolt Creative as being official, but it is a fun way for fans to learn the "language" that their Pygmies supposedly speak.
It may be named after the leader of the tribe, Ooga.

Trivia[]
- Ooganese is possibly named after Ooga; one of the pygmies in Pocket God.
- Some Pocket God tools suggest that Ooganese does not exist, as Pygmies usually just make primitive sounds, but occasionally they will say actual words such as "Double Rainbow! Oh my god! It's a double rainbow all the way!
