Kauderwelsch means Gibberish, a generic term in English for talking that sounds like speech, but has no actual meaning (such as "ja sun tecumba tapar") or ("la bgud duyier jusrekd, oh mai!"). This meaning has also been extended to meaningless text or gobbledygook, such as "the cats are eating my shmibbleboop, someone save the prostate gland from defibble nozzle sands". The common theme in gibberish statements is a lack of literal sense, which can also be described as a presence of nonsense. In the realm of computers, the displaying or printing of binary (non-text) data due to a fault in hardware and/or software is called gibberish (e.g. simulated by entering "TYPE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CMD.EXE" or "cat /bin/sh"). It is also a "language" frequently used by teenagers that can be understood, in which the words are divided by syllables and the first sound is spoken, followed by "idiga", then the last sound.

I've been wondering this all day where the did the German word kauderwelsch come from?

The words "kau" (to chew) "der" (the) "welsh" (another name for romansh speaking population of Switzerland).The French Swiss are (to the untrained ear) quite difficult to understand."Gibberish" - "kauderwelsh" - "the chewing of words" is a fitting description.==========================================================The German word Kauderwelsch means muddled speech, especially in several languages, or in an incomprehensible foreign language.The word welsch was given to the Romanic languages, such as those spoken in parts of Switzerland, Wallonia, Wachovia and Wales (compare English word Welsh!!)The word Kauder is either derived from the early High German word kuder, meaning oakum or poor quality flax (one theory is that the term kauderwelsch was a derogatory title for Italian flax dealers;or from Chuder, an adjective for the Romanic speaking people of Chur, Graubünden, and therefore Chuderwelsch originally meant the 'Welsh' language of the people of Chur. This theory is given a little weight by the fact that the Swiss word for Kauderwelsch is Chuderwelschor according to the Dictionary of the Brothers Grimm from the noun kaudern meaning to gobble like a turkey; blabber; prattle; speak incomprehensibly.It has nothing to do with 'chewing the Welsh' but its an amusing theory!
