About DiLINGO


An Ingor for your Dolor! --Sumus Cacoonus, D. E. (DiLinguist Extroardinaire) 

     DiLingo is the gutteral utteral, the paradigm of rhyme, the pox of vox.

     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!


     The troglodite speaks DiLingo--basic utterances--raw expression. Thus language recapitulates essence--the inherency. Then words complicate things with polysyllables, clouding meaning, taking away the power, the strength, of feelings felt.
Ing cling k'ying, and we embrace.
Ing cring k'ying, and we kill.
I kill you and ying gring k'ing.

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.

"Everything is funny, and the wicked speak not." ---Sumus Cacoonus


     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.
 

(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 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.

     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?

(Do you really want to speak to those people?)
No, for fun, the phonetics of the morphemes of DiLingo are constructed in rhyming sequences, giving it an entertainment value as well.

     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.

And, of course, it rhymes!

Thank God it rhymes!

     This gives it its melodic meter, not to mention its ridiculous chant-like mumbo-jumbo sound that will leave the non-DiLingo speaker (the gutterless utterless among us) clueless. See "NOTE ON ELOCUTION" on the
