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’ h-llo would be ‘hevage luvago’ incomprehensibilities would be ‘ivigincovegomprevege hevegensivegibivegillivegitevegies’
there are many types of this language and one common type in cardiff is placing an “ayg” sound within a word. this usually sounds best when said faster than normal speech.

hey what are you doing today?
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 -‘h-llo there, how are you?’
backslang -‘ellohay heretay, owhay reaay ouyay?’
backslang was invented by pickpocket gangs in victorian london. the purpose of backslang, was primary as a means of secret communications, for street gangs.

remove the first letter of the word then add an “a” at the end.
backslang: lda enta lacka ophata itha olda atcha

english: old gent black tophat with a gold watch
this is how we would talk when we were kids so the teachers/parents etc didn’t know what the h-ll 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 😉
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.’
