Re: Where does it say that Anne Heche made up a language?

Okay, so hardly glossolalia, as I had at first thought
from descriptions.  Why don't we invite her to
Conlang? <G>  Unless of course she's faking.
Lots of open syllables, there. ;-)

Whereas, when I said on NPR in Teonaht "Were you
finally able to get the car started?" that's exactly what
it meant down to the morpheme!

Thanks a million for the Newsweek reference.

Il aoto ai atwaned sy'ar talel arbbego mip?
"Could you finally get the car started?"

The car (il aoto)
it's walking (ai atwaned)
sy'ar  (sy hdar: you formal [question])
talel   (were at a finite time able to)
arbbego (at last, at end, finally)
mip (begin, start, start an action)

rymip atwa  "I start to walk"
ai atwaned rymip "I start its walking."

20/20 itself to get the tape or the transcript.  Newsweek (Sept. 10) quotes
from it:

special secret language.  Asked to recall some of their lingo, the happily
hetero Heche shared that 'Quiness' means God.  And 'it is a good fortune to
be here' would be: 'Aka funka too nadonna East Adone.'"
