the ICO language is made up. They created this language especially for this game and Shadow of the colossus use the same language.

Actually, it's not a "real" language, just made up gibberish. Insofar as the Ico and Shadow of the Collosus languages appear similar, it's probably because the voice actors were given lines, but there's no consistent vocabulary or grammar.
What's interesting is that in the Ico the sound of the language is still very Japanese-ish, but in Shadow of the Collosus, it's much closer to Chinese. The voice actors took a lot more care to avoid "Japanese-isms" in SotC (although some can still be found).
Yes, I researched the language in Ico and SotC. I'm a dork.
