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!

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.'
