Howdy,
This might sound odd but I was wanting peoples ideas on how to express in text unintelligable sounds, for example someone who has had their tongue cut out (sounds morbid I know!) but is trying to talk, what kinds of sounds might they make and how would you write them.
Cheers

Well, thinking of all the weird things to write for this can be quite humorous.

These two come to mind:

Gagged: "Mmmph"

Choked: Grrnnkk!

I have to admit I'm a bit at a loss of what to write for the tongueless character. But really, nearly any combination of consonants with a lack of vowels will do for some sort of sound. smile.gif
