Okay, here’s the scenario. I need help creating an artificial language that will sound funny to Chinese speakers.
For instance, David Ives created an Esperanto parody for a play, in which “English” was “Johncleese” and “welcome” was “velcro.” But this is not only unfunny to non-native speakers, it’s nearly impossible for Chinese actors to remember.
So, let’s imagine that in order to achieve ethnic harmony in Taiwan, some Buddhist organization decided to promote a new, Buddhist-based artificial language (Buddhese? Fwo yu?) mixing Mandarin, Taiwanese, Hakka, English, whatever you think would be funny and recognizable to a Taiwan audience.
In that spirit, give me as many vocabulary suggestions as possible, especually for the small everyday words. And please explain why they would be funny.
