DoggoLingo
DoggoLingo is an Internet language that is created from word conversion, meme lexicon, and onomatopoeia. Emerging in the 2010s, DoggoLingo is implied to be a dog's own idiom, and is presented as what humans have long believed goes on in the canine brain. Elyse Graham, assistant professor at Stony Brook University, describes DoggoLingo as "upbeat, joyful, and clueless in a relentlessly friendly way". Structure DoggoLingo appends various diminutive suffixes "-o", "-er", "-ino" to existing English words (e.g. ''dog'' turns into ''doggo'', ''pup'' turns into ''pupper'') as well as DoggoLingo words that have been created (e.g. ''pupper'' turns into ''pupperino'', ''bork'' turns into ''borker''). DoggoLingo relies heavily upon onomatopoeia: Words such as ''blep'', ''blop'', ''gwelp'' and ''mlem'' describe the action of a dog sticking out its tongue, or other forms of facial expression; ''bork'', ''boof'', ''woof'' describe the various canine barking sounds. A dog with a fluffy coat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

He was originally performed by Jim Henson and Frank Oz simultaneously, with Henson performing the head and voice and Oz performing the character with real hands.

Frank Oz originally provided the character's hands. Nearly all Swedish Chef sketches on ''The Muppet Show'' feature him in a kitchen, waving some utensils while singing an introductory song in a mock language – a semi-comprehensible gibberish supposedly mimicking Swe ...
