Ubbi dubbi

The Ubbi Dubbi language is a language game introduced on the long-running Public Broadcasting Service 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."
