    *gigglabyte* sounds like fun.
    In my pidgin/creole ConLang Lingwa Frakas, I am trying to incorporate
quite a bit of onomatopoeia (quite a bit of it from Japanese and from various
sci-fi/comicbooks/pop cultures around the world).

    UPDATE re: Lingwa Frakas =
kinda based on linguist Steven Roger Fischer's prediction that English,
Spanish and Mandarin Chinese may become the only dominant world languages *,
I have been fine tunin' Ling-Frak (the short nickname for Lingwa Frakas) to
be like some sorta "futuro poliglot Spangliz pidgin" ** <<futuristic polyglot
Spanglish pidgin>> [with a lotta loan words from other languages, mostly
slang and technocultural]....
    an exercise in "speculative conlanging" or "applied science fiction
linguistics" jeje.

three languages (and their sign languages) will perhaps survive the next 300
years: Mandarin Chinese, Spanish and English" (_A History of Language_, p.
219)

     a plain g for the soft g  - /j/ or /x/: a palatal or velar fricative -
