It is gutteral because it employs the simplest of utterals. When you speak DiLingo, "ling DiLingo," you are speaking from your most primitive recesses. There is a fulfillment, a satisfaction, like finishing a yawn (a benefit for Anafranil users), recatching that sneeze that almost went away, or even cracking that last knuckle. It is hippocampal thinking at its best, and it heeds not amygdaloid inhibitions. There is indeed an extra convolution of the brain, somewhere in the unfashionable amphibian area, and the gutteral utterers have found it!
Yikes!
The power of feelings is watered down by taking it from the bar-bar to prolific polysyllabic prose. It is tempting to think that evolved diction adds shades and reflections to make the rough stone of one's soul reflect brightly with many facets; but poly-syllabo-syntactico-nuancical elocution distracts us from this triviality which is life.
But enough of the pseudo-intellectualism.
DiLingo is built on morphemes, which is not
to be confused with morphine, a powerful narcotic which can depress respiration.
Morphemes are meaningful linguistic units that contain no smaller meaningful
parts.
DiLingo uses these morphemes, or basic utterals, and then incorporates prefixes, suffixes, inclusions, and compounds to establish the tense, number, mood, quality control, utilization review, peer group pressure, and so on. This is explained in GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS and ADVANCED DiLINGO.(I suppose the Uncertainty Principle as applied to linguistics would indicate that speakers of DiLingo, based on the smallest linguistic units, are saying nothing at all--well, half of the time anyway--that's for uncertain.)
DiLingo is a language invented for the purpose of mental exercise. Although it would be more beneficial to "exercise" with a legitimate language, e.g., French, German, etc., where's the fun in that?
Loosely, its declensions are based upon forms of rhyme--its syntactical features concentrate on simplification. Although it doesn't burn calories faster than the butterfly stroke, still, if everybody's talkin', then you'll hear it in the echoes of your mind, whatever that means.
