Idioglot

Further north, in rural Lithuania, a folk clarinet has a cylindrical tube closed at the top, with idioglot reed taken in the player's mouth for its entire length.

Pipes with idioglot reeds (not separate pieces of cane, but cut in the tube itself) have been identified from later civilisations, for example the Greek aulos and the Sardinian launeddas.

Alongside the clarinet of today, idioglot instruments are still played in many European countries, along the Baltic and in the Balkans, as well as Asia, Africa and South America.

Masa (tongs) -an idioglot with a sound-rhythmical effect and with a secondary musical function; made of iron.

These simple instruments (idioglots) still found in Syria, Crete, Turkmenistan amongst others are also used by children who have a good supply of reeds nearby.

The single reed iterations were often idioglots because of the simple structural design required to produce such a sound generator.

In a case quoted by Romanes, the reference to which we give later, a child aged 4½ years was the subject of idioglossia, but her younger brother was able to converse with her in her own idioglot language, although he also talked childish English.

For some reason it is the destiny of Richard Tull, to be surrounded by ideoglots. Idioglots, with their idiolects.
