Ok, good point about being left to the reader's imagination, but what concerns me is that I've already designated gibberish as the stand in for English. So, for example:
"Hi, Lois!" said Nor. "How are you?"
"Ayam Fain," said Lois.
"I'm afraid I no longer speak English," said Nor. "Did you just call me handsome?"
"Yeran Ugliyimbesill," Lois replied.
"Splendid! And how would you like to join me for dinner?"
"Estoo Bongaboo," said Lois, and Nor winced at the crude reference to his mother's eating habits.
Well?
Does it work? If not, what are some other thoughts?
