And I thought Pig Latin was hard!

as is typical of many 19th century clergymen, this guy really needed to get out more:p as a devon maid born and bred i've enough trouble with me own language let alone a made up one:biggrin2:

Though I don't quite understand how gabak means nature. :?
From what I can gather, it is nature as in "the nature of something", the "quality" of a thing.
not Nature as in "going for a nature walk". According to the translated poem at the bottom, that meaning of nature translates as "Bikab", which puts it in the same category as "sky, weather". Kinda makes sense.

Quite an interesting concept for a language. If I have time some day, I'd like to read more on it.
I bet it would appeal more to someone with a very ordered, mathematical mind, someone who wants to classify everything.
 
If you follow the links backwards, you can get to a few pages that suggest how to make your own language.

Personally, I`m more into the lamp and lemon-juice bit myself, if I had to disguise my message...

Oh, that makes more sense. :foreheadsmack:


 
Wow this is cool. I find stuff like this so interesting.

Kinda reminds me of NADSAT... anyone?

I find it weird how words stem from other places. For example me and my friend always say 'guanin' to each other. Like we'll say 'Wanna meet up for some general guanin?' Which just means lazing about and doing nothing. It stemmed from 'Whats going on?' which if you say quickly you get 'wasgoanin?' so now its just 'guanin?' Or 'Wasguanin clunge?'
