The movie is available on DVD; new from Amazon for $18, used for $15. Or used on VHS for $1. Here's the IMDb link: http://www.imdb.com/Title?Princess+Caraboo+(1994) And here's an article about the historical person on whom it's based: http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/pcaraboo.html Given Mary Baker's background, it seems unlikely that she would have much linguistic knowledge, but I haven't yet found any information on the language she created. And while I enjoyed the movie quite a bit, I haven't seen it since it was in theatres; 10 years on, I don't remember any examples of the language. -Marcos
