Hello! I am Spanish native speaker, I will make a funny question: We (spanish speakers) sometimes use something called "jeringoza" to talk in a sort of code to a friend. For example to say:
- Hola como estas? - we say
- Hopolapa copomopo espetaspa?
Once I saw in a movie (in english) that the characters speak some language like that, I hope if you could teach me how to speak it. thank you

In the children's show "Zoom", created by PBS, the creators came up with a language-code they called "Ubbi Dubbi"--I think it goes by a variant name now. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubbi-Dubbi .

yeah, we have one known as egg (i don't know why!) to speak it you remove the first letter of a word and place it at the end and add an "ah" sound
e.g. computer would be "omputercah" you do this for all words except small ones such as it, and, is, the etc.
not quite the same as your example but still good fun as it can be learnt very quickly and it is difficult for those who don't know the rules to understand. We in the UK use it and the Americans and Canadians also use it.

i dont think its realy a sub language its more messin a bout with the one we have

like every has said taking letter from the front and putting the on the back
but there is also a lot of other languages in english like irish german spanish norwegen galic scots ect so we end up with words like smashing, jitty kissing and hamburger (greman not american )

We would say ellowa,owha reaa uya?

Or for Where is the party?

herewa sia heta artypa

(Pig Latin) the a on the end is a long vowel sound as in the a in angel

It's called Pig Latin: you put the first letter of a word at the end of it and add 'ay'.

E.g. 'Hello, how are you?' = 'Ellohay, owhay reahay ouyay?'
