It's not so much a new language, but a new sloppier way of spelling a primitive subset of the old one.
Texting has a lot to answer for: the shorter the message, the faster it's typed:
"dey cnt b bothrd 2 txt in ful coz dey cn c wot it sez"

And in the days of telex machines, there were all sorts of abbreviations in use. But we quickly moved on. Likewise people using SMS abbreviations are embarrassingly branding themselves as using dumbphones. We've moved on again - the technology basis for such abbreviations has gone. All that's left is people thinking they're cool black gangsta rappers, whereas they're actually just dweeby little white guy wannabe's.
