Function

There are at least three different "dialects," or variations, of Língua do Pê.

"Double talk" dialect

This "dialect" of Língua do Pê is just like the Jeringonza and the Idioma F language games in Spanish. It works by repeating the rime of each syllable, beginning it with p. Examples:
This "dialect" is like the one described above, except that some vowels are changed. When an open syllable has or as its vowel, it is changed to and, respectively.
Please note that the syllables beginning with p are stressed, not the original syllables.

"Pê" dialect

This "dialect" is more like Kongarian than the other "dialects" of Língua do Pê. To speak it, the syllable pê is inserted before every syllable. This is the variant most used in Brazilian Portuguese, while the others are more common in European Portuguese.
In the Netherlands and Belgium, the most common version is to instert the syllable "ep" before every sonant. Another version is to add the syllable "p" after every sonant and repeat that sonant.
