Quangle
→ |
Quangle, closely related to Furbish, is a little-known language commonly hailed as the easiest known language to learn. The main reason for this is that Quangle consists of only one word: Quangle. Quangle is Quangle for every single word, phrase and sentence imaginable. Not only does this mean that the entire Quangle language can be learnt fluently in minutes or seconds (the current record being 5.43 seconds), it also makes translating from any other language to Quangle extremely easy - the English to Quangle section of the Collin's Pocket English/Quangle Dictionary is simply one sentence long.
The only problem with Quangle is the translation from Quangle to other languages. This is a very significant problem because the language is commonly used in business and diplomatic situations. This has resulted in a lot of confusion, and was deemed to be responsible for The Great Period Of General Grumbling And Not Being Very Happy At All in 1944. Quangle to English translators these days are incredibly rare, and the industry has been rife with those who were driven to insanity by the extreme levels of context identifying and psychoanalysis of the author that they resorted to giving up and handing the client a single A4 sheet of paper with the words "I HAVE NO IDEA."
