Zamenhof wanted to promote peace and cultural unity by giving people an easy-to-learn, universal language to speak. In 1887, a Polish-Jewish ophthalmologist named L.L. One of the most famous constructed languages is Esperanto. But, over the years, there have been many made-up languages-or, more broadly, forms of communication-that are incredibly complicated, purposeful, and successful. Here are some examples. Now, Pig Latin is no Persian, a natural language with tens of millions of speakers, not to mention a complex grammar, sophisticated script, and so on. Languages as diverse as English and Persian, Greek and Hindi, have all been traced back to a common ancestor, called Proto-Indo-European, believed to have been spoken on the Steppes of Eastern Europe some 5,000–6,000 years ago. If you think about it, all languages were made up at some point, if you go back far enough in time. (For example, don’t you think we sound mostus smarticus taking about made-up languages?) Pig Latin, for children’s made-up languages, is found in the record by the end of the 1800s. Originally, Pig Latin was a degraded form of Latin (known as hog Latin in the early 1800s and dog Latin in the 1600s), often meant as a parody of Latin to mock people trying to sound smart. When Gibberish became a language game isn’t quite so clear, though evidence for the term Pig Latin dates to the 19th century. The word itself is probably meant to imitate the sound of senseless jibber-jabber.
Speaking of gibberish, when did that word become a thing? The word gibberish first appeared in the English language in the mid-1500s, referring to written or spoken words that are unintelligible.
There are countless variations on the game, all used mostly for fun … though some made-up languages have far more serious purposes, as we’ll discuss next. In a similar made-up language some call Eggy Peggy, – egg- is added before each vowel, so dog becomes deggog. For example, the sound – idig- may be inserted after the onset of the syllable of each word, so dog becomes didigog, great becomes gridigeat, and so forth. Gibberish is the name of a language game people, often kids, play in which different sounds are inserted at specific points in words. If a made-up language sounds like gibberish to you, that may be the point. Where do these secret codes and languages come from, and why do we create them? It might all start with gibberish
#If the kids are united sounds like crack
Now, you don’t need to be an expert in cryptology to crack Pig Latin (and watch out, parents, when your little ones do), but there are hordes of other invented forms of communication that can be more challenging to those who aren’t in the know. Plenty of parents still use it to speak about things they don’t want little ears to hear. The appeal doesn’t dissipate as we grow older, either. Whether you devised it with a sibling or wrote in a diary only you could translate, there was an allure in concealing your communication in code. Now with an updated epilogue.It seems like a rite of passage for most kids: your first made-up language.
