There was also Klingon (not surprising, I guess), Pig Latin (why not?) and Esperanto (I thought that died out a few decades ago)… But nothing beats Elmer. How can you not laugh out loud in your chair when you see “Pwefewences”, “I’m Feewwing Wucky” and “Diwectowy”? (Hmm, now that I think about it, that looks a little like Polish… )

Ahhh… the good ole’ “fake languages”. I used to have a few installed on my dial-up BBS (back in the dinosaur age). Things like old english, viking, and probably some sort of cartoon spoof. T’was such a novelty.

This spoof on the Barber of Seville is one of my favourite Looney Tunes ‘toons Too bad I don’t have a copy… By the way, I noticed only the other day that in the ‘languages’ section of Google (“use Google in your own language”) there is a language called Elmer Fudd – where all l’s and r’s are replaced by w’s, of course

Makes me want to watch some oldfashioned cartoons. None of that crap they make today.
