Ubbi Dubbi

The Ubbi Dubbi language is a language game, perhaps introduced on the long-running Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) television show ZOOM, or alternately, as a joke in a sketch by Bill Cosby (the Dentist sketch).

By adding the sound "ubb" before non-silent vowels or diphthongs, a humorous pig latin-like artificial language results.

For example, this article's first sentence in Ubbi Dubbi is:

Thubbe Ubbubbubbi Dubbubbubbi lubbangubbage ubbis ubba lubbangubbage gubbame pubberhubbaps ubbintrubbodubbuced ubbon thubbe lubbong-rubbunnubbing Pubbublubbic Brubboadcubbastubbing Subbervubbice tubbelubbevubbizhubbon shubbow Zubboom, ubbor, ubbaltubbernubbatubbly, ubbas ubba jubboke ubbin ubba skubbetch bubby Bubbill Cubbosbubby (thubbe Dubbentubbist skubbetch).

"To be or not to be" becomes "Tubbo bubbe ubbor nubbot tubbo bubbe".
