Oop-Scoop(uup-skuup, ◆︎◆︎◻︎📫︎⬧︎🙵◆︎◆︎◻︎; Oop-Scoop: [uːp skuːp]) is an a priori jokelang/auxlang made as a way for a couple friends(who are not too big into linguistics) to use a secret language.

Its name is a hyphenation of the two words uup and skuup, meaning "person" and "speak" respectively.

Phonology

Oop-Scoop's phonology is intended to be malleable and able to fit the comfortable phonetic range of the speaker. Thus, though the orthography is standard, vowels and consonants may be pronounced in any way as long as each phoneme is easily recognisable.
