ZAPCHAT: AZAP!

I've invented a secret language!

Girl looking happy with herself in classroom. Text reads 'New Language: AZAP!'. Felicity Foxglove from The Worst Witch.
Figure caption,

Me and Ethel discovered a way to do our partnership homework without anyone finding out our secret potion formulas - a secret language!

Figure caption,

Me and Ethel started to use AZAP all the time and a few friends thought we were talking about them and felt left out. Oh no! Azap was supposed to be fun!

Figure caption,

Taught the girls how to make up their own secret language and now nobody can understand a thing anyone’s talking about! At least they like me again!

Book with 'Azap' written on in glittery letters. Text on image reads 'Special occasions only'.
Text reads 'Have you ever invented a language? Share your stories!'

Zapchat replies: jelly_ferret: I have my own language between my friends! It\u2019s called mushaez !  I\u2019m really enjoying zapchat! Official Felicity Foxglove: Well met, jelly_ferret! It\u2019s so much fun, isn\u2019t it? How do you speak mushaez? I\u2019m glad you like Zapchat, Ethel said we should keep the secret language to ourselves, but I knew you guys would love it too.
Zapchat replies: doglover04: Well met Felicity! I tried to invent a secret language which was to say everything backwards but it didn't work out that well! Official Felicity Foxglove: That sounds super tricky! I\u2019m not sure I could even pronounce words spelt backwards. Hmm, let me try: woh tuoba taht? Redrah naht ti skool! Phew, I\u2019ll stick with forwards I think.
Zapchat replies: greenlolpancake: me and my friends invented a language called gresh and we had to use symbols if we wanted to write to each other Official Felicity Foxglove: Well met, greenlolpancake. Gresh sounds wonderful! What are the rules? Oh wait, if you tell me, then it won\u2019t be secret anymore! Oops! Did you make up your own alphabet?
Zapchat replies: WhiteSilkyWolf: Me and my friends invented a language when we called different words after fruits. For example cool was pineapple. It got crazy after a while... Official Felicity Foxglove: Well met, WhiteSilkyWolf. That brings a whole new meaning to all my favourite fruits! Apples and grapes, even kiwis! I wonder what I\u2019m saying? I hope it\u2019s good - I love fruit!
Zapchat replies: blue violet panda pony: i am also trying to learn Morse code it is fun but challenging and then i will teach it to my friends so we can chat to each other and no one will know what we are saying apart from me and my friends! Official Felicity Foxglove: Hi blue violet panda pony. Morse code is spoken in dots and dashes, isn\u2019t it? It\u2019s a really exciting language, spies used to send Morse codes. It\u2019s the language of adventure! Can you figure out what I\u2019m saying?  [dot dot dot dot   dot   dot dash dot dot   dot dash dot dot   dash dash dash] Clue: A greeting ending with an 'O'
Zapchat replies: scarlet harmony: well met felicity. me and my friends had made a secret language before but after awhile we stoped since my other friend felt left out. Official Felicity Foxglove: Well met scarlet harmony, that\u2019s the trouble with secret languages! I found that other friends were upset that they hadn\u2019t been included. I felt awful when they thought we were talking about them! Definitely not what I intended!
Zapchat replies: Rabbit8: I invented a secret language with my friend but we couldn't keep it going because we got muddled and had to keep explaining the words to each other which made it pretty pointless because everyone knew what we are saying  Official Felicity Foxglove: Hi Rabbit8, Sounds like a real muddle, but you can still salvage it! A secret language takes a bit of hard work to figure out and constant practice, too. I\u2019ve always wanted to learn another language, even one that already exists, but it gets jumbled up in my head.
