The original instructions (left) and dictionary (right) for Furby 1998.

Furbish is the language spoken by all Furbys, Furblings, and Friends of Furby.

The original 1998 Furby and its dictionary contained a total of 42 different Furbish words. Following Furby models introduced a larger vocabulary, from moo-lah (money) to oo-kah (uncle).

Overview

Furbish is formed from a mix of different sounds and syllables.

Although Furbish may seem silly at first, it uses concepts, possibly inspired by many languages - especially Japanese and German. The Furbish word "Doo?" is used in place of a question mark and "Wah!" in place of an exclamation point. "Doo?" is very similar to the Japanese word "ですか?" which is also used in place of a question mark. (Example, Furbish: "Doo-dah oo-nye may-may kah doo?" English (literal): Do you love me?")

A Furby starts off speaking predominantly Furbish, and slowly begins to speak more English/the language of the land over time. This is advertised as "learning to speak your language by talking to me", however a Furby will not learn words you expose to them. For example, a Furby won't start to say the word "pineapple" just because you repeat it to them. A 1998 Furby has four language development stages programmed that it will transition to the longer you interact with the Furby. Emoto-Tronic Furby, 2012 Furby and Furby Boom also work this way. Furby Connect and the 2023 Furby do not have developmental stages.
