Back-Slang

This is how we would talk when we were kids so the teachers/parents etc didn't know what the hell we were talking about.

There are quite a few variants on it but all basically follow the same rules. "something" in between the syllabols of each word. Sound confusing? It is at first but at least i'm not tryin to explain double back slang

The type we would use was much more simple than some out there and would basically involve us putting "aag" inbetween syllabols (and also wt the beginning if the word begins with a vowel)
Would you like an explaination of back-slang -

W"aag"ould y"aag"ou l"aag"ike "aag"an "aag"expl"aag"in"aag"ati"aag"on "aag"of b"aag"ack sl"aa"gang

Would drag out your sentences so not perfect but daagid thaage jaagob ;)

Essex Back Slang 

its a bit hard to explain but, the general rule is you put 'UVAG' in the middle of a syllable. Unless there is a noun next to the UVAG, then, you replace the 'U' with what ever noun is next to it.
For example, the 'C' in cat, is one syllable, so you would put Cuvag-at.. 'CAT' cuvag-at.
An example when using a noun, 'HELLO' hEVAGell-lUVAGo. :)

I think thats about it,
suvago uvagi wuvagill buvage uvagoff thuvagen.
buvag-ye buvag-ye.
X
suvago uvagi wuvagill buvage uvagoff thuvagen.
govag-ood luvag-uck wuvagith Evagess-uvagex buvagack-sluvagang!
buvag-ye buvag-ye.

so i will be off then.
good luck with Essex Back slang!
byebye.

a language you can speak without being understood by other people that dont know how to speak it. you say a word for each syllable and add an 'uvag' between each of them. complicated....
in backslang, hi would be 'huvagi' hello would be 'hevage luvago' incomprehensibilities would be 'ivigincovegomprevege hevegensivegibivegillivegitevegies'

Backslang where I grew up was to add sylabbles to the start of words, and change the first letter. It's harder to write than it is to speak. Usually gone with 'G' or 'M', so I remember.
'Say what is that strange language?'
'Backslang, fool.'

Gillgi gillagow gillagar gillagou, would translate to Hi, how are you?

Millamat millamar millamou millamup millamo, would translate to what are you up to.

A language that can be used to communicate in a group without everyone there understanding you. A way to talk to about people around you and they won't understand.

You take the first letter of a word and put it in the end, then add 'ay' on the end. It's hard at first but the more you do it the easier it becomes to understand.
English -'Dude, check out that girl, she'd get it so hard'
Backslang -'Udeday, heckcay utoay hattay irlgay, he'dsay etgay tiay osay ardhay'

English -'Hello there, how are you?'
Backslang -'Ellohay heretay, owhay reaay ouyay?'

More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
