Surreal Speak is the complex language spoken and written in surreal memes. Surreal Speak is usually written in the Latin script, but diacritics, math symbols and zalgo text are frequently used.
Terms and Language
Surreal Speak is a dialect of the English Language that sometimes differs between the character in the meme. Common themes are replacing "ck" endings with "cc" simplifying words, and adding a letter "n" in between two consonants. Occasionally letters might be doubled as well. Also, some words are more scientific than regular words, for example, instead of pain/stress, it is Physical Endurance.
Meme Man is a common speaker of Surreal Speak, as shown by his familiar catchphrase "SUCC".

The rules of surreal speak (some optional)
- The names of the fruits "pineapple" and "lemon" are swapped.
- Letters can be split off from their words and added to the end of the previous word in a sentence. Example: "of the" becomes "oft he"
- CK, K, and sometimes CT endings are replaced with CC. Example: Suck becomes Succ
- Words ending in ION like "dimension" can have an extra E at their end. Example: Dimension becomes Dimensione
- Who, why, where, and how can have M'STVE put at their end, and what and when can have 'STVE put at their end. Example: Where becomes Wherem’stve and Who becomes Whomst’ve
- If the letter S is pronounced as SH (such as the S in dimension), an H can be put after said S. Example: Dimension becomes Dimenshion
- Note that the dialect of Surreal Speak can sometimes differ between characters, and all the rules of Surreal Speak may not apply. These rules also don't have to be followed, but at the very least use CC in place of CK endings.
- A consonant can be split into two, like P can be split into PP. Example: Map becomes Mapp
- B can be replaced with either Bee, or 🅱️. Example: Bad becomes 🅱add.
- An “nt” can be added at the end of a word to mean the opposite. Example: Up becomes Upn’t
- In a dimension’s name, or a number, lots of Zalgo marks can be added on it.
- A letter N can be added between a vowel and a consonant. Example: Stop becomes Stonp
- “-uki” and/or “-oochie“ can be replaced with “-ucci”. Example: Poochie becomes Pucci
- CT (short for Connecticut) is Conneticucc.
- Nescafe is product placement.
- Use gibberish. Example: ebvrhvej vhueniejveb seuvbisqctrkieb etof pierwqduibpkiae
- CK, K, CT endings are CC mostly, but not always. Example: Luck becomes Lucc
- Two consonants or vowels, or both, can be swapped. Example: Red becomes Rde
- A vowel can be replaced with another vowel, sometimes even the schwa symbol or a diacritic marked one, as well as an Æ or Œ. Example: Corn becomes Cœrn, and Egg becomes Ægg.
- Capital letters can be placed where they shouldn’t. Example: Realize becomes RëalisZe
- Apostrophes can be placed inside of a word to either equal a glottal stop, like the catch in uh-oh, or silent & not pronounced. Example: the becomes ‘the
- If there are two same vowels, like AA, EE, II, OO, or UU, replace them with an Â, É, Ī, Õ, or Ü. Example: Aardvark becomes Ârdvark, Eel becomes Él, Wii becomes Wī, Door becomes Dõr, and Equus becomes Eqüs.
- Sometimes you can replace an O with an Ø. Example: Pront becomes Prønt
Trivia
