About this document

Grammelot: The Language of Satire by moshiichan is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Grammelot is a type of language used in satirical theatre that combines Italian, onomatopoeic components, and elements of mime and mimicry. It originated in France when actors were censored by the church and traveled to other parts of Europe to avoid censorship and find new markets. Grammelot consists of some real words from different languages mixed with nonsense sounds and was used internationally so performers could be understood across language barriers that existed in isolated villages centuries ago.
