Anguish Languish

The Anguish Languish is an ersatz language constructed from similar-sounding English language words. It was created by Howard L. Chace and he later collected his stories and poems in this book, Anguish Languish. It is not really a language but rather a humorous homophonic transformation. Example: «Ladle Rat Rotten Hut» means «Little Red Riding Hood» and «Mural: Yonder nor sorghum stenches shut ladle gulls stopper torque wet strainers» means: «Moral: Under no circumstances should little girls stop to talk with strangers».
