Our Own Language

Post Reply New Topic

Wouldn't it be cool if we had our own secret language!

I was bored today so I started to make up a language and thought it would be cool if Auties and Aspies had there own secret language that we can type and talk to each other with! We could even identify other Auties and Aspies by the language (like having a little sticker/patch/button that says something in the language).

I want to know how everyone feels about our own language before I post it up. I don't even know what to call it though.........

Maybe.....Autish? Autinese? Autimen?

I tried to make it as simple and EZ to understand as posible. Short words and straight foward grammer. One vowels sounds so it's Easy to pronounce and remember! It would mimic the sentance structure of english to!

I would like everyone to participate to bring in there ideas to build up the vocabulary and grammer of the language!!

lol, i would love that, autish sounds funny, idk y lool, but i love the way that sounds hahahahha.

I think in a way we already have our own language. I know a few people who are very likely on the spectrum, and I can have whole conversations with those people where the NT's in the room can't follow the conversation at all. One of those people is my sister's husband. One time my sister said to my mom "You should hear Amy and Josh have a conversation. They get each other. It's spooky." Same thing with one of my coworkers.

I thought we already did, Esperanto

Do it. We should seriously organize this. We compile a comprehensive list of words. Then we compile a group of people willing to help out. Each person is assigned a small section, depending on how many volunteers we get.
E.G.: one person might get a-abash.

And from there we expand. But our language won't have all the useless synonyms English has. We'll have a practical language.

How far this could be expanded beyond the site, I don't know. How many people would want to learn it, I don't know.
But it might actually work if enough people are interested and we can get the admin to back up the idea.

I love the idea of an Autism language, but a lot of us have a hard enough time with this one, due to associate learning disorders and being intellectually disadvantaged...

OUR LANGUAGE

It has the same alphabet as english.

PRONOUNCIATION

Each vowel is pronounced independently.

A E I O U Y

A pronounced as in Apple

E pronounced as in pEn

I pronounced as in Ink

O pronounced as in Old

U pronounced as in fOOd

GRAMMER

Plurals: add an 'a' to the end of the word

Possessives: add an 'as" to the end of the word

Past tense: Add an 'et' to the end of the word

Present tense: Add an 'e' to the end of the word

Future tense: Add an 'se' to the front of the word

WORD STRUCTURE

Nowns would start with a consonant and end with a vowel.

of course by naming it autish you have allready failed because the name should also be the new language!

There should be a new alphabet.. forget these letters we see here. But we can use these letters like we do japanese.

Look up Esperanto if you like languages


Me? I'll stick with some Japanese so I can order my food properly and wait for telepathy to kick in

Mirror, you'd need to come up with a different say to express possessions....
if "a" is plural....and "as" is possessive....how could you tell the difference between a possessive singular and a possessive plural?

So that and maybe a few other things could use some tweaking...but I like your "word structure" idea.

But hey, making up languages is cool . I'm sort of trying to make one up....I doubt anyone would want to learn it though.
