From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The Ubbi Dubbi language is a language game introduced on the long-running Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) television show Zoom.
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 ubbintrubbodubbuced ubbon thubbe lubbong-rubbunnubbing Pubublubbic Brubboadcubbastubbing Subbervubbice tubbelubbevubbizhubbon shubbow Zubboom.
"To be or not to be" becomes "Tubbo bubbe ubbor nubbot tubbo bubbe".
A similar language exists in Hebrew which is called the "Bet language", bet being the Hebrew letter for English b. The Israeli song 'A-ba'ni-bi' that was sung partly in the "Bet language" won the 1978 Eurovision song contest.
