Twitterism

The lost language of Twitterism was last heard about 50 years ago in the high mountains of Madjuint which is in North Eastern Ambergris. The language was unique to the high mountain regions and was used for communicating over longer distances. The language died out because of the population decline in the high mountains and the migration of many of the younger generations into the cities of the region. There is no recording of the language just the recollections of the older residents who when they were young when they heard it last time.   The language consisted of about 100 sounds that were similar to native animal sounds. It was used to communicate across mountain valleys where loud volume single or double syllable sounds would travel the greatest distance. There was no written form of the language just an oral passing down of the language to the next generations.   Only a few meanings of the sounds are known today. a "Tweet Woo" sound means "Come Here", "Boooot" means "Food Ready", "AAA" is the word for "Tomorrow" and "Waaii" means "Stop".   The language always started with the "start" sound "yee" which is used again as the "end" sound. This enabled people who could not see each other to know a message was coming before the main message was given.    The language was a mainly female usage language. They used it to communicate with their family and neighbour that may be some distance away from their house. Often to call them back for a gathering, a meal or to pass on some short piece of information.    There was an attempt to revitalise the language a few years ago but as so much of the meaning to the language was lost it was not possible. So far 105 sounds have been recorded in the archives but only about 25% have their true meaning assigned to them.
