Play

Listing sites that concern themselves with made-up playful languages and jargons occurring in all parts of the world. These will often -- but by no means exclusively -- be used by children as a form of code or a game. These languages are characterized by systematic rearrangement of letters or phonemes of words. Play languages are also called ludlings.
