      When adding a work, one would normally select a lyrics language. For works with no lyrics there is at present one of two options: 1, leave the field blank (making the work look unresolved) or 2, label it as "No linguistic content." This can cause confusion as the No Linguistic Content language field can also be used to identify works with words in no discernable language, e.g. scat. I propose that the "No linguistic content" language be split into two new language fields: a special-purpose [No lyrics] field and a "Gibberish" field for works with non-intelligible lyrics ("Scat" might work, but then again there are songs in other forms of gibberish, e.g. Caramba's "Hubba Hubba Zoot Zoot" that this field could be applied to).
