Is useless language the proper term? It seems that there is a use for such "languages": to conceal conversation. -- STG
I agree, if pig latin was used by the African American slaves, then it should not be called useless!
swiped this from wikipedia "Useless language" which is now redirected to this plural-named (sorry) page(s)
I don't think "language game" is the right place for this article, either--it is a technical term in philosophy, due to Wittgenstein. --LMS
Again, I'm thinking that "language game" isn't the right name for this concept--can someone research this? The term is has a well-established meaning in philosophy, due to Wittgenstein, and I think in critical theory too. --LMS
