In fact, NBA players themselves struggled to get some.

Its a mixture of various languages including French, Spanish, English and more  with a large dose of nonsense added in.Its very difficult to master though, as Steve Carell who plays villain-turned-good-guy Gru in the series and who had to speak Minionese in the latest instalment, attests.One of our directors does most of the minion voices and I had to actually do a little bit of Minionese in this movie and its really hard.

I wasnt very good at it.FANDOM put Carell and his co-star Kristen Wiig, who plays Grus wife Lucy in the film, through their paces with a movie quiz  in Minionese.The challenge?
