Information AboutGibberish (language Game) |
Gibberish is a Language Game spoken in the United States with English . It is also a group of language games which all work in the same way. FUNCTION There are at least three different "dialects", or variations, of Gibberish. The dialect using ''-itherg-'' is known as "Jibberish," and the dialects using ''-itug-'' and ''-idig-'' are known as "Gibberish" (pronounced with a hard G). "Itherg" dialect This "dialect" of Gibberish is spoken by adding the Infix ''-itherg-'' to each syllable after the Onset . Example:
When the onset of the syllable contains more than one consonant, ''-itherg-'' is added after the first consonant. Example:
When the syllable begins with a vowel, that vowel is used in place of the ''i'' in ''-ither-''. Example:
"Itug" dialect This dialect works the same way as the previous one. Presumably, the rule for syllables beginning with vowels applies as well. Examples:
"Idig" dialect This dialect works the same way as the previous ones. Examples:
"Arraga" dialect The vowel sound of each syllable is inflated into the form '_rr_g_'. The last syllable of a multisyllabic word is usually considered exempt. Examples:
GIBBERISH FAMILY "Gibberish" is also used to refer to all Language Game s created by inserting a certain infix before the vowel in every syllable. For example, if the code infix were "ob", then "Hello, Thomas" would be translated as "Hobellobo, Thobomobas". While a relatively simple code, this can be difficult to understand when spoken swiftly and sounds merely like meaningless babble, which is how it received its name. While any syllables could theoretically be used as code syllables, there are some which have risen to greater use. These include:
In addition, some variations exist with longer code sequences such as "ubbagg", resulting in even more gibberish-sounding gibberish: ''Thubbaggis isubbagg anubbagg exubbaggaubbaggampleubba'' (This is an example). Another variation consists in the code syllable not having a specific vowel, but repeating the vowel of the syllable it is inserted in. This variation is common in Switzerland, where the inserted syllable thus could be "VnVf", where ''V'' denotes the original vowel, e.g. "Hallo, Chrige" would be translated into ''Hanafallonofo, Chrinifigenefe''. These language games could be classified as being in the Double Talk family. Similarly, "lalafa" replaces each occurrence of a vowel with "VləfV." Combining (or double-encoding) forms of Gibberish, or by further encoding with other languages games such as Pig Latin and Tutnese can result in increasingly hard to decipher (and pronounce) words. For instance, combining Pig Latin, Hard Gibberish and Openglopish might result in a phrase ''idigopidigatthidigopidigay idigopidigoundsidigopidigay idigopidigikelidigopidigay idigopidigisthidigopidigay'' ('that sounds like this').
