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 four different "dialects", or variations, of Gibberish. The dialect using -itherg- is known as "Jibberish," the dialects using -itug- and -idig- are known as "Gibberish" (pronounced with a hard G), and the dialects using -atheg- (th in then and the two vowels are pronounced with a schwa) and -adeg- is known as "Gibberish" (with a J sound like jar).

"Itherg" dialect

This "dialect" of Gibberish is spoken by adding the infix -itherg- to each syllable after the onset. Example:

* dog ā†’ dithergog
* cat ā†’ kithergat

When the onset of the syllable contains more than one consonant, -itherg- is added after the first consonant. Example:

* flower ā†’ fitherglowitherger
* creek ā†’ kithergreek

When the syllable begins with a vowel, that vowel is used in place of the i in -ither-. Example:

* all ā†’ athergall
* eat ā†’ eathergeat

"Itug" dialect

This dialect works the same way as the previous one. Presumably, the rule for syllables beginning with vowels applies as well. Examples:

* dog ā†’ ditugog
* flower ā†’ fituglowituger
* all ā†’ atugall

"Idig" dialect

This dialect works the same way as the previous ones. Examples:

* flower ā†’ fidiglowidiger

"Atheg" dialect

This dialect works in much the same way most other dialects do, with three main differences.

1.) When the onset of the syllable contains more than one consonant, those consonants stay together.

* flower ā†’ flathegowatheger
* creek ā†’ crathegeek

2.) When the syllable begins with a vowel, the atheg infix acts as a prefix, with no change to the initial "a," except with the two letter words that begin in "i," then the initial "a" becomes "i."

* all ā†’ athegall
* eat ā†’ athegeat
* if ā†’ ithegif
* it ā†’ ithegit

3.) All syllables are subject to the infix. The last syllable is never left unchanged.

* understand ā†’ athegundathegerstathegand
* subject ā†’ sathegubjathegect

When it comes to pronunciation, all consonants retain their original sound.

Writing "Atheg" Gibberish can be done in a number of ways. Because all consonants retain their sounds, the word Gibberish can be written Gathegibbathegerathegish or sometimes it can be written Giatheghibbathegheratheghish to show that the first G is pronounced like a J and the following Gs are pronounced as in get. Writing really depends on the preferences of the writer and those with whom they are trying to communicate.

Gibberish is a generic term in English for talking that sounds like speech, but has no actual meaning (like "the mave's rint is slanphed up"). This meaning has also been extended to meaningless text (such as "hgtdkygfdkyfkk" or "spligindysporkmadork").

You might think that gibberish is blabber talk or something a 2 month old might say, but in reality it is a "secret language" popular among teens. If you want to join the conversation, listen up.

Steps
Break a word down into spoken syllables. Generally, every syllable in a word contains one vowel sound. Here are some words and their syllables:

tree: tree
bottle: bo (pronounced bah), ttle (pronounced tul)
symmetry: sy (sih), mme (meh), try (tree)
Add the sound "-idiga" after the first consonant(s) and before the vowel sound of each syllable:

tree: tridiga
bottle: bidiga, tidiga
symmetry: sidiga, midiga, tridiga
Replace the "a" sound in "-idiga" with the rest of the syllable:

tree: tridigee
bottle: bidigo (bidigah), tidigle
symmetry: sidigim, midigidge, tridigy
Repeat with every word.
Practice, practice, practice!

Tips
Keep in mind that many versions of Gibberish are slightly different. You may need to learn a new "gibberish dialect" if you want to communicate with some folks. A common variation uses "thg", "diggadee", "dither" or "ither" instead of "idiga".
In some versions, for words that start with vowels: A becomes "adiga", E becomes "edige", I is "idigi", and U is "udigu"
In Northern England, a popular variation on idiga is iviga, thus making "dog" into "divigog" and so forth.
Another variation is to place the letters "uthug" before each vowel. For example, "hello" would be "huthegelluthego".
Another variation is to place the letters "ib" before each vowel. For example, "hello" would be "hibellibo".
"Egg-Language" is another variation except put the word "egg" into every syllable. Take a hike = T(egg)ake (egg)a H(egg)ike. Just remember to pronounce every broken syllalbe as you would normally say it, and not as I spelled it. Example "head" = is pronounced "h(egg)ed"

There are a couple of possible theories of origin for the term "gibberish". One says that the basis is in the old word "gibber" which is allied to "jabber". However, "gibberish" was in use before the word "gibber", therefore making this a dubious theory. A better explanation says the word comes from Geber, the name of an Arabian alchemist in the 8th century. He invented a strange terminology so that his works could not be understood by others; more importantly, he could not be accused of heresy, which was punishable by death. "Gibberish" in its modern sense was certainly used by 1811.

Despite the intelligent purpose behind the creation of the term, "gibberish" today is used as a derogatory term to suggest something has no merit or makes no sense (e.g. "that's a lot of gibberish") rather than the (supposedly) more accurate use, which would be akin to "that sounds like a lot of encrypted information," which is rarely used. Common usage dictates that gibberish means unintelligent, meaningless, uninformed, or worse, when in fact, the opposite is true.
