For example, what if you know Vulcan? If you have no one to speak Vulcan with, what is the point? The point is, there are others out there who do speak it, you just have to seek them out. '

In the spirit of enlightenment, I’m listing five Anibo phrases that will get you started and allow you to fake people out to think you’re fluent in it. Oh, come on, you have to have fun with it. Right?

If you ever find yourself hopelessly trapped in the vortex of MySpace, mercilessly killing time by bravely exploring many of the infinite rabbit holes it has to offer, you may find my page there (or shall I say, a couple of them), and if you have been added as my friend, no doubt you will find daily bulletins announcing the Hodaoa-Anibo Word of the Day.

Of course I have no way of knowing how many of my 140 friends are actually clicking on these super short bulletins, but I feel it’s the least I can offer during the week, and on weekdays as I’ve recently been taking a break from the time devouring Internet on my precious weekends.

Hodaoa-Anibo can be a hard concept for many people to wrap their minds around. I mean really, it’s not everyday that you hear about a new language created, and even as fascinating as the gall of someone to sit down and create a whole entire language is, it may not be as inspiring to actually pick it up and learn it. Most of us learned in middle and high school that new languages can be a bit intimidating.

Even waddling beyond the intimidation, what is its usefulness? For example, what if you know Vulcan? If you have no one to speak Vulcan with, what is the point? The point is, there are others out there who do speak it - you just have to seek them out. Seek and ye shall find.
