I'm not sure if I should put this here, but I'm wondering if anyone would like to collaborate on a beatbox language with me. I myself am unable to beatbox but I can recognize a wide range of sounds and my brother can make drum noises. Razz

Inspiration for this is from MIB2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJyTCaOrSSw
and this MTV commercial I found - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d96ANTUgu8k&feature=related

My own idea for it so far is sort of Morse-Codey, as in a given beatbox noise represents a given phoneme, and you pretty much spell out everything. Sentences would be determined by the underlying rhythm or pitch of the beatboxing - example, interrogative could be in the high tone Will uses in the first part of the MIB link. Also, it could be adapted to Chinese by setting beatbox sounds to character radicals, working like the Morse Code idea except... not.

Thoughts? Ideas? Interest? Am I in the right part of the forum? Razz

You could divide up every phoneme in two groups, lets say there are 16 phonemes, eight in each group, so that you have a group A and a group B. Then, each morpheme could be of the form AB, AAB, ABB, ABBB, AABB, AAAB, AAABB, etc. That way it is self-segregating, and you could use the shortest combination for the most common morpheme in the language.

Yeeeees, that could work. Then it would just be a matter of figuring out the right phonemes, since the range of beatboxing sounds is pretty diverse. Plus there are some that are made in combination with others... It'd be cool if I could, I don't know, email the director of MIB and ask if they ever intended for there to be meaning in that clip or if it was just for kicks, and see what he thinks.

Maybe it could have phoneme gradation and suprasegmental phonemes as tone and chronemes? And both full and partial reduplication.
