Is there a novel where a character's lines are written in the same language he speaks in?

The novel i'm currently writing (and wich will soon be completed, I'm aiming for a next summer release) as a lot of parts with a N'gyell (which is a kind of demon-angel in my universe) who helps the hero in her quest. This character speaks in Oortan a language I invented myself and it is totally untraducted the whole book!

Yeah, it's really fucking annoying, too.

At least it took only a few fuck-hundred pages for me to make the assumption (valid, it turns out) that "Schwartz" probably means "Black" in German.
