Dewd speak is definetly not a new language in a technical sense.

Even American Sign Language is no longer thought of as its own language by academic types.

I think originally it was just a short hand way to type in chat rooms(how r u?) And that added with some common misspellings from games(pwn) eveloved into a "dialect" used by many teen age netzens. Along the way people made a concious effort to make it harder to understand by swapping "E" and "3" etc.

Also script messages on phones have encouraged this.

I dont thinks its as signifigant an occurance as some kids I know beleive.
