It qualifies as a "fictional" language because Colin is right: it's just an alternative encoding of the English translation. There's no nuance to it at all, even the Star Wars "language" Mando'a (or however you spell it) is better. Mando'a isn't high on my list because it's not really a language, just an English lexicon of alternative spellings. But at least there are rules to the composition of the words!
Sorry to geek out for a second, I've been studying conlangs and considering making one. I suggest use of a real word generator, like my Werd script[1] (a translation of the original), that generates words based on rules.

- pyry 15y agoThe word mando'a bounced around in my head for a while, then I remembered that mandu'a is Guarani[1] for 'to remember'. [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guaran%C3%AD_language http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guaran%C3%AD_language
