1) Whapat ? Ipit hapard topoo tapalk apan wripite.
2) Whalapat? Illipit hallapard tolopoo talapark allapan wrallapite.
Could someone tell us the origin of this wonderful language. I am envious and would love someone to teach it to me.
Old school thats the short version and the long version
I know both of them
Thirsty I dont know the origin
but it is very easy if you get the hang of it
But no one speaks it today, plus I live abroad and soooooooo hungry to use it.
My daughter and I still speak it up to today. We were at the hospital and needed some privacy so we used it there. We can talk it really fast so no one can understand it. We love it.
Oh how fun! I wish my mother and I had a secret language.
I used to speak something very similar with my grandmother here in England. She was taught it by her grandmother, and she by hers. It was tradition that only the females in our family would know how to talk it. My mother and my sisters understand and speak it still, to varying degrees. It's definitely proved to be useful for us ... and frustrating for others!
I think its fun to speak,people who cant speak it always find it funny as marlene said its good when u need some privacy.ha ha!
