There are quite a few works in the realm of linguistic science fiction. 'Embassytown' by China Miéville is a notable one. In this novel, the language of the Ariekei, an alien race, is so complex and different from human languages that it causes many challenges for communication and understanding. It really delves deep into the idea of how language can be a barrier and also a bridge between different species. Another example is the short story 'Story of Your Life' by Ted Chiang, which was the basis for the movie 'Arrival'. The way the alien language in the story affects the protagonist's perception of time is a fascinating exploration of the relationship between language and thought in a science - fictional context.
