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 β dithergog
* cat β kithergat
When the onset of the syllable contains more than one consonant, -itherg- is added after the first consonant. Example:
* flower β fitherglowitherger
* creek β kithergreek
When the syllable begins with a vowel, that vowel is used in place of the i in -ither-. Example:
* all β athergall
* eat β 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 β ditugog
* flower β fituglowituger
* all β atugall
"Idig" dialect
This dialect works the same way as the previous ones. Examples:
* flower β 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 β flathegowatheger
* creek β 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 β athegall
* eat β athegeat
* if β ithegif
* it β ithegit
3.) All syllables are subject to the infix. The last syllable is never left unchanged.
* understand β athegundathegerstathegand
* subject β 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. |
