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 |

QUOTE Eeeiii..ey uuh ouu muuhh tuuunngg!!" (hey, they cut out my tongue!!) ... Only thing wrong that I can see is that he wouldn't be able to pronounce the "T" in "tongue" since the tongue is needed to make that sound. Therefore it would be "unnnngg". -------------------- "Once the game is over, the king and the pawn go back into the same box." - Italian Proverb
