vacuencia

To speak the Basque language. In Dominican slang, the term refers to speaking in a way that is completely unintelligible or sounds like gibberish (the Basque language is a language isolate unrelated to Spanish, making it sound like nonsense to a local listener).

When people in the Dominican Republic heard two people talking in that language and could not understand a word, they said those two are speaking Basque, which in local Spanish evolved into: those two are talking vacuencia.
