This is totally Ubbi Dubbi, just in Japanese.

“Hongkongese” as well in English.
Just adding ‘ong’ after any consonant. It was popular about 3 years ago in high schools,…

I know this kind of game from my childhood. But obviously, not with Japanese, but with Hungarian language! ^^ We use ‘va, vá, ve, vé, vi, ví, vu, vú, vü, vű, vö, vő’ and place it in words, just like in this Japanese game. For example: we ask someone:
“Teve tuvudsz ivígy beveszévélnivi?”, the original sentence would be: “Te tudsz így beszélni?” (means: Can you speak like this?). I used to play it in school a lot when I was about 9-10 years old. ^^

I’m from Austria and we played the exact same game. We called it “BB language”. When I was in primary school I kept talking with my friends like this for the whole day, confusing everyone around us. It’s really fun for kids.

We have a similar game in Czech too :-)) It is really funny. We used to use it with my former director.. When our colleagues were too serious, we started to speak like this and they were looking at us with a big questionmarks on their faces :-))))) Oh yes, accountants are a little bit crazy..

I played this game when I was a kid! I had never heard of this game being played in any language other than mine (it’s Catalan, spoken in Northeast Spain). But instead of using “babi” we would use “papi” (Maria would turn into MapaRipiApa).
