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 "ub" 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:

Thube Ububbubi Dububbubi lubanguubage ubis uba lubanguubage gubame, puberhubaps ubintrubodubuced ubon thube lubong-rubunnubing Pubublubic Bruboadcubastubing Subervubice (PBS) tubelevubisiubon shubow ZUBOOM, ubor ubaltubernubateluby, ubas uba juboke ubin uba skubetch buby Bubill Cubosbuby (thube Dubentubist skubetch).

"To be or not to be" becomes "Tubo bube ubor nubot tubo bube."
