| - The Smurf language is basically a variation of a human language where the word "smurf" is substituted for whatever noun, verb, adjective, or adverb is being used. It is a rather intuitive form of communication, since only Smurfs seem to know without any sense of confusion what one Smurf is really saying to another Smurf in Smurf. It mostly depends on what context the word "smurf" is being used in since it can hold any number of meanings, including sometimes profanity, as accidentally and then later deliberately invoked by Patrick Winslow in the 2011 Smurfs movie. Occasionally, though, debates do break out in the manner of the word "smurf" being used in compounded words and phrases, as one Smurf might say "corksmurf" and another Smurf might say "smurfscrew", though both are correct forms of the word. This verbal debate led to the events that took place in the cartoon special "The Smurfic Games" as well as the comic book story "Smurf Of One And Smurf A Dozen Of The Other". In the animated version of The Smurfs And The Magic Flute, Peewit attempted to ask for a glass of water in Smurf to a fellow Smurf, only to get other things instead. Brainy tries to explain, "to speak in Smurf, the verb and noun must both agree, and adjectives make the meaning vary" -- though as usual he gets bludgeoned over the head. Peewit also mistranslated a message that was spoken by another Smurf in Smurf, which required Papa Smurf to provide the correct translation. In "The Fake Smurf", when Hogatha was masquerading as Snorty Smurf, she was confused when Vanity tried to tell her something in Smurf. Not all Smurfs speak in Smurf. Wild in the cartoon show uses squirrel chatter and hand signals to communicate to other Smurfs. Hackus, a Naughty that was turned into a Smurf in The Smurfs 2, has speech patterns similar to Bigmouth and thus isn't likely to speak in Smurf fluently.
