The MALLEABLE...and Beyond!
Sure, all of us are flexible, but just how many of us are truly malleable.
Also, see SOME GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS  

    In DiLingo (or more correctly, D~L~ngo), there different verb modes, depending on the grungers that determine tense:

ing verbs      Present Tense
ang verbs     Past Tense
ung verbs     Perfect Tense
ong verbs     Past Perfect Tense

    MALLEABLE words are changed based on the verb tense. DiLingo attempts to make sentences with as many malleable words as possible, based at all times on the dominant verb grunger.  In clauses wherein the tense is different, all of the words associated with that clause are malleable to the clause verb.

    For example, all of the ~ng words in a sentence
will change to ung words if an ung verb is used.
    Same with ang verbs, etc.

Ing lang yink, tock ing ing schloosh (I liked you, but you're ugly.)    becomes
                            Ang lang yank, tock ing ing schloosh.
In this sentence, the first clause is malleable to the ang grunger for past tense, but the second clause, since it stays in present tense, remains in the ing grunger.

 Ing, Ang, Ung, and Ong

Since ing, ang, ung, and ong are contained in most of DiLingo words,
these are legitimate members of the DiLingo alphabet.

ing = <i> simply called an ing, or the ing grunger (gringer).
ang = <a> simply called an ang, or the ang grunger (granger).
ung = <u> simply called an ung, or the ung grunger (grunger per se).
ong = <o> simply called an ong, or the ong grunger (gronger).

Consonents: b,c,d,f,g,h,j,k,l,m,n,p,q,r,s,t,v,w,x,y (well, sometimes), & z

Vowels:     a, e, i, o, u...and yes, sometimes y

Firesigns:

        <i>, <a>, <u>, <o>, the grungers...for Malleability

        <v>, the verfiresign, to denote an extreme or intensity
                        when used with ADJECTIVES or ADVERBS.

For example,
 
good bing b<i> Here, <v>- + the adjective, bing.
very good verbing <v>b<i>
 
 
          <s>, the schliresign, to denote the opposite, an unfavorable quality,
                        or a pejorative comparison.
For example,
 
good
bing
bad
schling, or <s><i>
 
The firesign de redund is an interfix which which connects a word to a root word, effecting both syntax as well as rhyme.
Firesign des redundes:
1. "Rodan," the interfix "-at-" which converts a verb to an adjective indicating ability: (See VERBS or ADJECTIVES)
 
speak ling
Here the interfix -at- + the root grunger extend the rhyming capablities, i.e., ling- + -at- + 'ing, or lingating (ling'-a-ting').
speakable lingating
 
2.  "Gorgo," the interfix "-ab-" which converts an adjective into either comparative or superlative forms:  (See ADJECTIVES):
 
good bing
Here the interfix -ab- + the root grunger once (for comparative) or twice (for superlative) extend the rhyming to hopefully ridiculous proportions, i.e., bing- + -ab- + 'ing, or bing- + -ab- + 'ing + -ab- + 'ing. 
better bingabing
best bingabingabing
 
 

 PRONUNCIATION:

All single vowels, except for a*, are short.  All double vowels are long.
For instance:  Ing is like the ing in bring; iining (to be) has the ii which is like the i in like.

*a is long whether in single or double form.  And you don't want to know why, believe me.

Using the entire alphabet of firesigns and grungers,
bing becomes b<i>
        lang becomes l<a>
        schlung becomes <s><u>

I hope they move
Ing string sings mings, or...
<I>  str<i>  s<i>s  m<i>s.
 
good        bing, or b<i>
very good   <v>b<i>

bad         schling, or <s><i>
very bad    verschling, or <v><s><i>
I am very bad. ---> Ing ing verschling
     or...     ---> <I> <i>  <v><s><i>.
     or...

~ {<i>}
~
<v><s>
  See Matrices, next section.

 MATRICES

Using the distributive property from Algebra
If 2 x (3+4) = (2 x 3) + (2 x 4), then...

Ring hring ting (He has it) =   R(ing) + hr(ing) + t(ing),  or
                                            R(<i>) + hr(<i>) + t(<i>), or
 

R- {<i>}
hr-
t-
 

Ing string sings mings (I hope they move) = ~  str<i> s<i>s m<i>s, or
 

~ {<i>}
str-
s- -s
m- -s
       The ~ grunger is used to designate that the <i>-grunger (the "gringer") stands alone as a word, in this case "ing," or "I."
 

EXPLETIVES

    It is left as a task to the speaker of DiLingo to use a proper noun as an expletive. In this way, using a GOOD person's name would be an expletive denoting wonderful surprise. For example,
"Jesus Christ! They found a kidney for me and I won the lottery."
    On the contrary, using a BAD person's name would denote an expletive of malevolence to another or one's self. For example,
"Manson! I just hit my thumb with the hammer!"
"Nixon! I'm screwed!"
"Gary Puckett and the Union Gap to you, pal!"
    Of course, part of the fun would be using people of questionable orientation of fortune for the sake of sarcasm. For instance, saying
"Billy Graham!"
to someone much older than you who asked you how you like school might be interpreted by this person that it's just great, but you and your irreverant friends would know that you just said that it sucked big time.
Examples of Expletives:
GOOD BAD
Pee Wee Herman! Anita Bryant!
Penn & Teller & Jesus! J. Edgar Hoover!
Gallant! Goofus!
Goofus! Gallant
Clinton! Clinton!
Chelsea! Monica!
Oingo Boingo! Spice Girls!
(anyone else) Adam Sandler!
Of course, the relative positions of these proper nouns could change overnight.

SARCASM

Any sarcastic phrase or sentence (or even paragraph or whole tome) is bracketed in the words 
Scrump...scrump.
For instance, 
Scrump ying ing verschlilt scrump.
Would mean, "You're very thin, really...not!"

INANITY

There will be times when you're just not rhyming enough. The demands on the language of DiLingo will force you into phrases that just don't sound ridiculous to the non-Gutteral Utterals around you.

The bracketing technique used in sarcasm can also be used to insert a bogus collection of words that will satisfy the need to maintain the rhyming frenzy that might have been lost. When this need arrises, one should bracket any nonsense he or she wants in the words, 

Aaniine....aaniine.
For instance, 
Eck ping eebring jingetor sing wing 
aaniine bung wung tung-a-dung wing 
ding sing-a-ling aaniine.
"Everyone can be whatever she
wants nonsense nonsense nonsense."
In this way, it's like the "rem" in front of an autoexec.bat command. It is to be ignored.

NOTE: 
The Sarcasm and Inanity tags make DiLingo the very first Hyperlanguage Markup Language.
