1994 EFnet IRC.

An emerging language related most specifically to RT (real time) chatters on IRC (or other related chat rooms) which a Keyboard is used for communication thus replacing spoken language. Errors in correct spelling and grammar result in combinations of shorthand and misspelled words. The result is the language better known as typonese.
Using the word in a sentence:

You don't have to worry about correcting yourself. I speak fluent typonese.
