	Lunfardo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lunfardo was a colorful, slangy argot of the Spanish language which developed at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century in the lower classes in and around Buenos Aires.
		A characteristic of lunfardo is its use of wordplay, notably vesre (reversing the syllables).
		Ortiba is vesre for batidor ("informant" in lunfardo).

		Formerly, Lunfardo was a colorful, slangy argot of the Spanish language which developed at the end of the 19th century in the lower classes in and around Buenos Aires.
		Lunfardo is frequently found in the lyrics of tangos, supplying nuances and double-entendres with overtones of sex, drugs, and the criminal world.
		Nowadays in Argentina, unless referring to tango, Lunfardo means non-standard use of words, use (or misuse) of foreign words, and creation of new ones.

		Lunfardo, the slang of Buenos Aires, is innately connected to tango; both were born in the same setting, of the same people, and for similar reasons.
		Lunfardo allowed them to communicate without being understood by the authorities—it was the language of the underworld.
		It is a mixture of Spanish, the numerous languages spoken by the immigrants who came en masse to Argentina in the early 19th century, African words brought by the slaves, and words from the languages of the indigenous people of Argentina such as the Quechua Indians (Gobello 1990, pp 10-30).

		Lunfardo became more and more popular, and had the acceptance of different social classes, particularly of the lower one.
		Tango gave it the support Lunfardo needed for becoming part of everyday language in Buenos Aires: poets began to use it in their verses, singers began to interpret it and people in general began to use it, accept it and understand it.

	Talk:Lunfardo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		You could say that people ignoring the original meaning of lunfardo doesn't make argentina slang to be lunfardo, but even Clarin defined lunfardo as "all words of daily usage on Buenos Aires that are not on rae's dictionary" which is very arguable -and Buenos Aires centric-.
		So if that's not the case for all argentines, then it should be corrected and state "lunfardo is also the word porteños use to refer to argentine slang", but not erase that part of the article altogether.
		Quilombo article not about lunfardo -the reason you typed- doesn't make much sense to me, if the Quilombo article was about lunfardo, it's text would be in the lunfardo article, or the articles should be merged and then make a redirect or something.

		El lunfardo, de hecho, es una broma literaria inventada por saineteros y por compositores de tangos y los orilleros lo ignoran, salvo cuando los discos del fonógrafo los han adoctrinado".
		El lunfardo no está en la gramática castellana, no lo enseñan en la escuela, pero los hablantes porteños lo aprenden naturalmente porque el lenguaje no es sólo el encadenamiento verbal que respeta las reglas de la gramática, es también imágenes, sensaciones y modos expresivos que rebasan los límites de la norma.
		En otras palabras, Arlt se vale del lunfardo por una necesidad literaria, para darle más veracidad a sus relatos.

	Cuarteto Cedron / Piove en San Telmo - Lunfardo Songs - CD / cdRoots (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Like French argot and English or American slang, Lunfardo comes from prison jargon, completed and perfected by crooks and inmates to communicate under the noses of the police and prison guards.
		Today Lunfardo is much more than just an alternative means of expression; it is the popular mode of expression in Buenos Aires - the language used by men to communicate amongst themselves in their daily lives.
		With this album, the Cuarteto follows respectfully in the tradition of the early tango songwriters, who were the first to use Lunfardo vocabulary as well as Castilian Spanish, or rather they used it within Castilian.
