Asked Gemini to name a numeral system, it started speaking a made-up language

A Reddit user asked Gemini to help name prefixes and suffixes for their custom numeral system (bases 20–35), but the model suddenly switched into a bizarre language — the screenshot shows Oromo-like text mixed with invented words like "Alepergam", earnestly laying out a prefix/suffix table in this nonexistent language. A classic model language-drift moment with good meme value.
