I have my own weird slang and abbreviations for stuff..not quite the same thing though

my bandmate, on the other hand, who is more schitzotypal (sp?) than anything...has his own language.

When I was sixteen, my mates and I developed slang terms for most everything. We were un-intelligible to the average person. When ever I e-mail one of them, I always remind them of some of the outrageous terminology we used.

when i was a kid, i created my own language - however i never really used it as there was no one else to use it with.

If you had your own language, do you have any examples? Just curious... :)

My friends and I tried doing one in about third grade, but I found it waaaay too hard. Plain English is much easier!

I made my own written language a few months ago. It's based on a combination of Roman, Greek, Cyrillic, and Gothic alphabets, with some alterations along the way, as well as a few symbols intended to throw people off. I did it so people wouldn't read over my shoulder.

I had my own language when I was little. It was before I started talking. Only my parent understood my language, nobdy else. It was real frustrating for me my mom says. She did aggressive speech therapy with me. She even quit her job to stay at home and work with me on my language. I supposed she went back to work when we moved to Washington because they had a found a school up there that would work with me (here in Portland they weren't going to teach me till I was in kidnergarden and my parents didn't want to wait). I remember her working when I was 5 and then she quit her job again and stayed home and took care of us kids for a while. Then she went back to work a few tiems at night and then she quit again and then when I was 10 she went back to work but this time she volenteered working in speciel ed as an aid to learn more about how to teach kids with speciel needs because of me and learn how to teach me since normal parenting wasn't working well on me. Raising an autism spectrum child isn't the same as raising an NT child. My mother even had to take classes about how to raise me and teach me things differently than you do to a normal child.

I have a few unusual descriptive words for common items. For example, I call dry cat food "nurpies," because of the sounds cats make (nurp, nurp, nurp) when eating it.

I made up a language when I was 13 or so. It was sort of like egyptian symbols. I could write as fast with it as english.

I have personal language.

In spoken form it's clicks, growls and grunts.

On paper it's straight lines with intersecting lines and dots.

It's name means "Way of the voice" in English

Was working on a purely logical language back in my late teens. Never finished it though - actually, I think that the goals were impossible, as it was meant to also be very poetic, and I find that seems to only occur in eclectic languages.
