The twins' secret language

47 minutes | Wednesday, 30 October 2024

Imagine being able to communicate in your own secret language. That's the reality for Michael and Matthew, identical twin brothers from England, who can speak to each other in a language nobody else on the planet can understand.  The phenomenon is called Cryptophasia or twin language. Michael and Matthew both speak Umeri, but are also language experts, talking in more than 25 languages each.  On the Debrief today, Lucy and Dane speak to the duo about how they came about creating a new language and how useful it is.  Also, the battle of the Doner Kebab - the Turkish government is taking diplomatic steps to take back control of the ownership of Doner Kebabs, attempting to ban Germany from claiming the dish for themselves.  And, with just 6 days to go until the US Elections, Dane and Lucy check out what Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have been up to on the campaign trail as the battle is heating up!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
