Mooréspeaking

Mooréspeaking refers to a hypothetical constructed language that was purportedly developed by a group of individuals within the Moorish Science Temple of America. The existence and nature of this language remain largely undocumented and are a subject of debate among historians and linguists.

Information about Mooréspeaking is primarily derived from anecdotal accounts and interpretations of some Temple literature, which is often written in English with distinctive stylistic and orthographic choices. Proponents sometimes suggest that Mooréspeaking was an attempt to codify a unique linguistic identity for adherents, possibly drawing from Arabic, English, and other influences. It is sometimes described as having elements of coded language or a secret dialect.

However, scholarly consensus is lacking regarding whether Mooréspeaking ever existed as a fully developed or consistently used language. Some researchers argue that the term may refer to a particular vernacular or a collection of idiosyncratic expressions rather than a structured language with its own grammar and vocabulary. Others suggest it might have been a symbolic or spiritual concept rather than a practical means of communication. Due to the limited and often ambiguous nature of the evidence, Mooréspeaking is generally considered a fringe topic within the study of constructed languages and religious movements.
