It's called Boontling (or in Boontling simply "Boont"), one of the world's longest-lived artificial languages, predating Esperanto. It's spoken only by a small community of old-timers in a northern California hamlet called Boonville: <http://www.avbc.com/visit/boontling.html> <http://www.connectedtraveler.com/zeese.html> <http://www.sjsu.edu/depts/linguistics/news/boontling.htm> Here's a snippet: Brightlighter 'n' eeld'm piked straightnecky moshe from Frisk to fogeater region for buckeyin' on thribble dee, greymatterin� to seep fratty in the Land of the Beeson Tree on the pike. Moshed through Boont, needeekin' 'n' neeshyin', deekin' for frattey nooks. Translation: A man and his wife who lived in the city were driving their BMW through Anderson Valley, from San Francisco to the Mendocino coast, on a three day weekend, for a little rest and relaxation. They figured they would pass through Anderson Valley to sample some of the local wines on the drive. They drove through Boonville without a glance and stopped for nothing, intent on finding the wineries and their tasting rooms. :) -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation Developer of WebMerge 2.2: Publish any database on any site ___________________________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com Tel: 323-225-3717 AIM: FourthWorldInc _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
