Language Idea

While talking about my project with a friend, I thought of an idea to have Leroy speak in his native tongue. Since he is an alien from a far off planet, he has his own language that is completely different and incomprehensible to humans.
Since my original idea is to present a character as a toy for kids, I feel that this could be really successful. I remember one of my favourite toys when I was little was an alien that would "talk" when you squeezed his stomach, pause for you to respond at random intervals. Leroy could work in a similar way. Instead of just talking and stopping at random times, he could what until you stop talking to him and responds to you in his language.
What he is meaning to say is up to interpretation by the user, and having the imaginative mind of a child explore that would make for a successful project.
