You can't say Love Island isn't educational. On Monday night's episode, new bombshell Angel Swift revealed she can speak Double Dutch language. If, like us, you found yourself wondering what that actually means, look no further.
Double Dutch is a fictional language known for sounding incomprehensible to anyone who does not understand its rules or logic. It's a popular way for children and adults to speak to each other in code.
After Boris Vidovic told Angel he can speak Slovenian, Croatian, English, Spanish and a bit of German, Angel explained that she can speak the 'made up language'. She wasn't flexing about being bilingual in an official sense, but she did reveal she can speak fluent gibberish – much like most of the boys in the villa.
What is Double Dutch language?
The Double Dutch alphabet is the same as the English one, but the secret language uses extra letters to create words that sound like made up versions of the English ones.
A - 'a-va-gaa'
B - 'b-bee'
C - 'c-va-gee'
D - 'd-va-gee'
E - 'e-va-gee'
F - 'ev-a-gef'
G - 'g-va-gee'
H - 'h-va-gee'
I - 'i-va-gi'
J - 'j-va-gay'
K - 'k-va-gay'
L - 'ev-a-gel'
M - 'ev-a-gem'
N - 'ev-a-gen'
O - 'o-va-go'
P - 'p-va-ee'
Q - 'q-va-gu'
R - 'r-va-ga'
S - 'ev-a-gess'
T - 't-iv-a-gee'
U - 'u-va-gu'
V - 'viv-a-gee'
W - 'duvagub-buvagle-u-va-gu'
X - 'ev-a-gex'
Y - 'y-va-guy'
Z - 'ziv-a-gee'
So the name 'Mary' would be 'Ma-va-gar-ra-va-ga-ry'.
To say 'fine, thank you' would be 'fi-va-gi-ne, th-va-gh-ank y-va-gyou'.
If only the girls could speak to each other in Double Dutch to exchange notes about the boys' bad behaviour, especially from the likes of Harrison Solomon, Harry Cooksley and Dejon Noel-Williams, we might have saved a lot of heartache.
