I've known this as Ab Talk since I was a little kid. Our mother taught us, and it's funny sounding and almost impossible to decipher if you aren't used to it...

You = Yabou. Me = Mabe. Him = Habim. Song = sabong.

Psychology = Psabychabolabolgaby.

;-D

You add the syllable "ab" to every syllable, behind the beginning consonant. If there is no beginning consonant, then at the beginning of the syllable.

Is - abis

no - nabo

Consonant = Cabon sabon abant

Thanks for the explination.

The Three Stooges had a routine, in one of their films, with a made-up language too. I think that it must have been a craze, in the 1930's , which only caught on and remained, in a few places. :-)
