Fake Languages You Can Actually Learn: 

Klingon — a pretty famous fictional language from Star Trek. You can even learn this one on Duolingo. (Apparently, one Klingonist raised his child from a newborn with Klingon as their first language (along with English), though the child gave up Klingon at the age of five.) Klingon Dictionary and Klingon Handbook KLI (Klingon Language Institute) 

Unlike with some other retroactively created languages, supposedly Tolkien started by inventing languages before writing, with the most famous and elaborate ending up being the Elvish languages. http://councilofelrond.com/content/guide-to-learning-elvish/. Among these (Westron, Sindarin, Quenya, Khuzdul, Entish, Black Speech, Adûnaic, Rohirric/Rohanese), you can learn to speak the Elvish languages Sindarin and Quenya, as well as possibly Westron and Adûnaic, to an extent… There is a book, "The Languages of Tolkien's Middle-earth" by Ruth S. Noel, that might help…

Na’vi – Created by linguist Paul R. Frommer for the making of the Avatar movie. You can learn Na’vi here on https://learnnavi.org//their YouTube channel or here: https://kelutral.org/   

Dothraki – from A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones. You can learn Dothraki on https://dothraki.org/. This language also has a subreddit (r/learnDothraki) and a Living Language book. 

High Valyrian – You can learn High Valyrian from ASOIAF/Game of Thrones. It has a course on Duolingo.  

Second Tier:

Mando’a – http://mandoa.org/. From my understanding, this is the most fleshed-out Star Wars language (the language of Mandalore and the Mandalorians.) The Oyu'baat community and Project Shereshoy both have reference materials on the Mando’a language (and culture.) Mando'a Lessons - YouTube 

Ewokese — A Star Wars language from the planet Endor. You can’t really become fluent, but there are quite a lot of words you can learn. The same is true for the Jawa and Huttese languages. The Complete Wermo's Guide to EWOKESE

Jawa – The Complete Wermo's Guide to JAWAESE

Huttese – The Complete Wermo's Huttese Transcript

Chenuh – The language of the Chiss from Star Wars. While it was not canonically fleshed-out, fan-made projects made learning Chenuh possible. On the other hand, the Chiss have superior vocal capabilities, so you’ll never be perfect.   The Cheunh projekt by the_wicked_memer Writing system for it by Zombiepixlz-gamr Resource list compiled by deathcupcake 

Ur-Kittât (Sith) – Star Wars language of the Sith species. Imperial_Cadet on Reddit and YouTube is working on analysing and developing the language.

Eragon’s languages – Paolini.net covers the Ancient, Dwarf, Nomad, and Urgal languages from Eragon.

Yautja – The Predator language. Alphabet

Translator (with Yautja alphabet)

Dictionary: here or here (English alphabet)

This does not account, however, for the other aspects of the language like their ‘silent hand’.

(Keyboard)

Bonus: A Few Alphabets: 

Aurebesh/Galactic Basic Standard – a Star Wars alphabet (‘Aurebesh’) seen here. You can learn more information on https://aurebesh.org/. Once you learn that, you can even have Aurebesh key caps (here, here, here). (<-- I don’t like the fact that some of the non-letter keys are just Star Wars symbols; it doesn't seem to me like people in the galaxy would just have a key for the rebel alliance, etc.)   

Gnommish — the language of the People, or faeries, from Artemis Fowl. This language is traditionally written in spiral order outwards. There’s a guide to the original alphabet in the Artemis Fowl Files. (This one is less complete than the others, as it is only an alphabet and occasionally contradicts its canon; it is mostly here for sentimental value.) Gnommish alphabet (Note: The new Gnommish looks like this, and was the version created for the movie.)  

Standard Galactic Alphabet — The “Minecraft Table language” is, in addition to being used on Minecraft enchanting tables, actually from the Commander Keen games. Unfortunately, it won’t get you very far, because, while it IS a real translatable alphabet, these translations often lead to nonsense ramblings and useless information in the Minecraft games. Here's what it looks like. 

Fictional Instruments

Mikau’s fish skeleton guitar, called the Zoraxe (from The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask) came to actually exist as a real-life guitar when 7 replicas were made by Dan Lawrence. Link

Brian's Big List of Projects also set out to build the a more accurate Zora Fishbone Guitar.

He then afterwards made a real version of Japa's Crab Bass/buy (also from Majora’s Mask.) 

Now we just need the fish drums and the skull piano and we’ve got a full band.

This person made a playable replica of Medli's Harp (Wind Waker)

(There’s actually a lot of untapped potential in the Zelda instruments field. Makar’s violin, for instance.)

There have also been recreations of the Crucible Guitar from DOOM: By Orbital Guitars (8 strings instead of 6; glow: 2/3), and also by CraftStation (correct 6 strings; glow: 1/3)

Giuseppetm recreated Syndrome's Computer User Interface (interactive) (The Incredibles)

Star Wars In-Universe Texts and Literature

(These are books that exist in canon that you can actually read, not in-universe tie-in books created after the fact.)

The Jedi Path/here is a Jedi temple training manual. The Book of Sith is Darth Sidious’s compiled philosophy book.

Sacred Jedi Texts:   Aionomica/link (with a focus on in-universe function, as I believe it has some original writing to fill in the blanks), and here (with a focus more on visual accuracy.) Jedifreac & theredhandcomic also made the Aionomica. Rammahgon (or here)  PercNerd's collection constructionpaperandtears made one. This person (I believe it is all the same person) worked on translating the texts from their fictional languages. One, two, three, four. (Someone else trying to determine the alphabet of one page→here.)  Pages/here collected and added to by lerougemain. Physical pages astromech_dj is writing their own.

The English alphabet does appear in several of these books, a decision which I understand but resent. 

Jumanji (board game) This screen-accurate Jumanji board is carved from wood, has accurate pawns, and plays drums when it senses you’ve picked it up. A screen works as the display through the magic green middle lens.

In addition, there's the World’s First Self-Moving Jumanji board. Its tokens respond to the exact dice roll of the player and move by themselves. The game also keeps track of who is trapped in the jungle, how many lives a player has left, and if a 5 or 8 is rolled to release a player from the jungle.

Lastly, I wanted to list this one from Infinity Collection Studios. This board, made to replicate the one seen in the movie (like all of these), also displays riddles through the middle lens.

Now, the old Jumanji movie had a sequel, Zathura, about a board game called Zathura. Here’s a kickstarter for a functional Zathura game with moving parts. Inside, the board has a mechanism for moving the tokens on chains like in the movie. It also has random number generation, card ejection, a speaker to emit the game’s sounds, and a turning key and button. 

Defictionalized Video Games:

Sugar Rush (Wreck-It Ralph): Sugar Rush Superraceway on itch.io  (It also appeared as a flash game on the Disney website, though that did not include Vanellope, for some reason.)

In addition to Vanellope's arcade game, Sugar Rush, a playable version of Hero's Duty was actually available as a flash game on Disney's website.

Jonasthena and Scyllalizard (scroll down) made real full-size arcade cabinets for the defictionalized game Fix-It Felix Jr. (Officially, you could buy your own fully functional Fix-It Felix cabinet…this big.)

Scyllalizard is also making a real Turbo Time cabinet (same link, don't scroll down.) I can't be sure that it will have a functional game, but the other one did, so I think so.

(Also, I have no proof of this, but I have a feeling the durability isn’t going to hold up against a Spider-Man.)
