Spoken language is an event occurring in a few Nitrome games where a character or the game will verbally speak English, as opposed to written English. This type of communication can be heard by the player, instead of read, although in many cases spoken language will be accompanied by written text of what is said.
Spoken language is very rare in Nitrome games, usually appearing in "special" Nitrome games, such as Test Subject Complete or Nitrome Must Die. It should be noted that spoken language is different than the more common grunts and groans, as, although these are spoken, they do not convey any words.
Most Nitrome games, when containing spoken language, usually use a male voice and all language is English, with the exception of Off The Rails which contains Spanish words, and Rainbogeddon, Bad Ice-Cream 2 and Test Subject Complete, which have language spoken with a female voice.
The below quotes can be heard in all levels, although only one is heard for each event. All quotes are spoken by a single cactus man in a male voice. For each event, three possible quotes are listed - the first three in the table being quotes for starting a level, the next three three for quotes heard when dying, and the last three for quotes heard when completing a level.

"Level (current level)"
When the player starts a level, which includes instructions for the item in the level. The word "Level" is pronounced along with the name of the number, the number pronounced being the number that level is, for example, the number pronounced would be "one" if the level was level 1
When the player causes the reticule to come close to them, but the player moves to another location farther away from the previous location. This done three times will cause The Machine to say this
Due to the requirements for this quote to be said, it is possible to complete Test Subject Complete without hearing it, as the requirements for the quote are encountered rarely. This quote is most easily heard on level 23
"It has been a pleasure serving you. Doctor Nastidious must be stopped. The professor is the only one that can help. You know what you have to do. Shutting down."
Blue jumps out of Rex209
Doctor Nastidious's name (Doc-tor Nas-tid-ee-us) is mispronounced Doctormestidies (Doc-tor-mes-tid-ees). Along with this, the final sentence requires very very close listening to Rex209's voice, as what was intended to be "Shutting down" is instead pronounced "Shallbeweln" (shall-be-weln)
