It's gibberish and you can just go to any search engine and type it in and see the responses. That's how I do it. http://www.pscode.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=7337&lngWId=4

Now who can argue with that?
I think we're all indebted to Gabby Johnson...for clearly stating what needed to be said.
I'm particularly glad that these lovely children...were here today to hear that speech.
Not only was it authentic frontier gibberish...it expressed a courage little seen in this day and age!



Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?

reply

i no how 2 speak it

Yah? how does it work? When me and my cousins were growing up we made up something similar called 'The "O" Language' I loved this film, it reminded me so much of my childhood!
Please tell me what the principles are of "Gibberish"

Place "ithag" in between the first letter of all the syllalbes in a word. If a syllable starts with a vowel, use ithag in front of it. Example: WHithagAT ithagARE YithagOU DithagO ithagING tranlsted means: What are you doing?

An example of something said in gibberish in the movie:
Yithagou slithagammed thithage dithagoor? = You slammed the door?

In this movie, it was definitely "idig," not "ithag."

reply

As kids we had a similar language - we simply put a "P" before each vowel. Easier than "idig" and good enough to fool all the adults.I haven't given it a thought in 70 years, but this movie reminded me of it, and I found that I could still speak it easily. But "idig" is too much for me now.

if you know it then tell us how to do it

i love this movie! and i was baffled by the gibberish. last xmas, i bought my friend's kid a book of poems called Sad Underwear, and here it is:

I know a secret language
I’d like to share with you.
Are you ready?
Here’s how it’s done:
You take a word and put a “g” sound into every syllable.
Dgo ygou gget igit?
Dgon’t ygou thgink igit’s fgun?

reply

after the first letter of every syllable, add idag.

when the first letter of any syllable is a vowel, begin that syllable with 'idag'

one of the lines is: "i'm in love."

idagi'm idagin *beep*

or if you wanted to say, "these pretzels are making me thirsty."

thidagese pridagetzels idagare midagakidagin midage thidagirstidagy.

notice that digraphs (two consonants together that make one sound: i.e. th, fr, pr, sl, tr) so really, the rule is add idag after the first consonant sound in every syllable...but when the syllable starts with a vowel, put idag at the beginning of the syllable.

it get's easier if you practice it.
idagit gidaget's idageasidagiidager idagif *beep* pridagactidagice idagit.

When I was in elementary school, my best friend and I spoke this language and we called it "Double Dutch".

Basically you break your words into syllables and at the end of each syllable you add the sound "the-guh" and then repeat the final sound of the previous syllable. So, for example:

Thisthegis isthegis howthegow wethegee spokethegoke Doubtheguhlethegle Dutchthegutch. Untheguhderthegerstandthegand?

reply

i think the name of it is double talk

reply

Actually, it is called Ithig. I know this because I used to read 'Sweet Valley Twins' when I was younger and there was a book called "Keeping Secrets" where the twins learn how to speak it.

reply

Marisa Tomei in an interview called it "Iddaga" and said she had originally spoken it with school friends.

Folklorists call this kind of thing a "play language". Google on that phrase and see what you get.

It's so funny to hear all the different versions of this language! My mom and her best friend used to speak in "Uddigee Talk" throughout grade school all the way thru college and my mom spoke in it to me as I was a child... and I thought it was so cool that my mom had invented a language like that!!! Nice to know there are other enthusiasts too!

I love those kind of languages! Sometimes, I'll add and itiga, or just a guh. Do you guys remember Ubbi Dubbi from ZOOM? I speak it fluently.

Hey I can speak it really fast, and alot of people here are you giving you different forms of gibberish, the easiest is the 'idiga' one, and I think thats the one they use in the movie.

thidigis idigis an exidigample of gidigibberish!

aka this is an example of gibberish.

When I was a youth leader a few years ago the younger girls in the youth group came up with a secret language they called "Ong". They added "ong" after every letter except vowels. For example, "My name is Joe" became: Mong yong nong a mong e i song Jong o e" It took them forever to say something, but it was to say something in secret that that the boys couldn't understand. I could never get up to the speed that some of them accomplished, but I could always understood what they said.
