Actually they're from an old and venerable Tramafaldorian language Which looks very much like French. So much so that most Tramafaldorian words are identical in all but their meaning.
For example Tous les go�ts sont dans la nature Means Toss the goats that are in the natcher. A natcher is type of large blender. And Tramafaldorian goats are in fact small, sweet vegetables shaped like pianos.

Camille translates this one as "All the tastes are in nature"... quite a bit different from "All the geese are eating nature"....
