In response to a query I placed in LINGUIST List 8.1048 on the subject of Double-Dutch and Pig-Latin type language games and their occurrence in various languages of the world, sent me the following bibliographic references, which I have decided to place on the Web so as to make them available for others as well. Ben sent me the references in two mails, the first concerning manifestations in Indonesia, the second refering to occurrence in other countries of Southeast Asia.
