Strange Language is the debut solo studio album by Cowlitz Native American singer Debora Iyall, released by Columbia in 1986 and produced by Pat Irwin.

"[9] Cheryl Wenner of The Morning Call wrote: "Iyall's strange language is unfamiliar and likely to be a little disturbing to Romeo Void fans.

"[10] Ted Drozdowski of The Boston Globe wrote: "This sales-hungry debut is so overburdened with generic dance tracks and recycled melodies that it robs Iyall's lyrics of their depth and leaves her voice unchallenged.

"[11] Chris Willman of the Los Angeles Times commented: "Iyall's romantic observations seem maudlin, perhaps because they're placed in musical settings that are plenty moody but without any of the old rhythmic drive.

Worse yet, producer Pat Irwin has placed her voice in high-tech, hollowed-out, low-key settings that, to work at all, would require her to be a technically accomplished singer.
