Nope, the quoted version is almost right, although the "The" is wrong; it should be "Thope" (pronounced ['DOpi]). The principle is that you insert <whatever> between the consonant and the vowel of each syllable. A similar language is Ubby-Dubby (from Zoom); Thubbe pubbage yubbou ubbare lubbookubbing fubbor ubbis nubbot hubbere. Dumb Donaldspeak from Fat Albert - and also Cosby's dentist routine - is very Ubby-Dubbylike, but the inserted vowel is an echo of the following vowel: Thebe pabage youbou abare loobookibbing fobor ibbis nobbot hebere. ("Youbou seebee thibbis? Thibbis ibbis myby bobottobom libbip!") -Mark
