I learned a new word today. "cryptophasia"
This is when twins make up their own language and they communicate and noone else knows what they are saying . . .God, I'm scared.
I've also heard they gang up on you.
Not surprising, I've learned that they make morningsickness worse. Explains alot.

If your children do end up with their own language, you should write it down. You don't have to know what the words mean. When they are older you can ask them and they might be able to tell you what they were saying. It would be an interesting topic for a book too. :D
Have some cousins that were identical, they had their own language too. I wonder how much reasearch there is on this, how similar each pairs languages are? Fascinating!

A friend of mine has an identical twin, and (this was a few years ago) when I asked him about that, he said that he and his brother used to have their own language, and used it well into their teen years.
