Verlan is formed by inverting syllables. As with many Language games, Verlan suffers from the fact that it is primarily a spoken language passed down orally, and thus there exists no standardized spelling. While some still argue that the letters should be held over from the original word, in the case of Verlan most experts agree that words should be spelt as to best approximate pronounciation. Hence in this English dictionary we use "Verlan" as opposed to "Verslen", while a Frenchman might spell it "Verlons". As most potential readers here are not French, here's an attempted example of English verlan, which could be called the vursin (inversed inverse). |
