For example, "Sis Puella Magica!" from Madoka OST. The title itself is Latin
but when I read the lyric, it's not! Here's the first part of the song

[code]

    samia dostia
    ari aditida
    tori adito madora
    
    estia morita
    nari amitia
    sori arito asora
    
[/code]

Some of the lyric seems like Latin, for example "aditida" or "adito" is bit
similar to Latin "aditio" which mean "right of approaching" or "acceptance" in
English. It also doesn't seems like Japanese.

And this is the lyric for "Army of the King" from Fate/Zero. The title is
English but again, the lyric is not something I can recognize.

[code]

    esarta mirifo
    kontiasa mia
    
    arta mita iya ah
    amia sortita
    aria
    
[/code]

What language used by Kajiura Yuki in Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Fate/Zero OST lyric?


Actually it's not from any language. Kajiura Yuki (the composer of this song)
is often used a made up language for any of her soundtrack song compositions
called "[ _Kajiurago_](https://canta-per-me.net/lyrics/about-kajiurago/)". The
word itself doesn't have any meaning and all Kajiurago songs is meant for open
interpretation.

From AnimeGiga video interview (link above)

> Interviewer: What is ｢Kajiurago｣?

The Kajiurago lyrics are usually never officially released unless otherwise
specified. Most Kajiurago lyric we can find is something people write from
what they hear. But for Madoka OSTs, the lyrics are actually an official
release, although it's not happen very often.

Almost every song from Madoka OSTs used Kajiurago, and Kajiurago is used in
many of her compositions, not only for Madoka Magica and Fate/Zero but also in
several other OST like ["A Song of Storm and Fire" from Tsubasa
Chronicle](https://canta-per-me.net/lyrics/storm-and-fire/).
