I’d love to know what these two are thinking, there is so much non-verbal communications going on, and some of the hand gestures are hysterical. It’s not a true idioglossia though, just verbalization and mimicry, though they are definitely communicating. When I was ten I had a pair of twins as friends that most people couldn’t understand. They spoke very fast and left off leading consonents. but I could usually make out what they were saying, it wasn’t twin-talk, merely bad English reinforced by the each twin’s mimicry and ability to understand his sibling. I remember both of them demanding ickyooloop an okla-ilk in unison, and my mom looking at me totaly perplexed until I translated “Chicken Noodle Soup and Choclate Milk”.
“Chicken noodle soup and chocolate milk”
At the same time? That needs to be the title of a parody of Chicken Soup with Rice.
