		Among the prominent features of later French slang may be noted the use of the suffix mare to form derivatives such as perruquemare, a wig-maker, and the practice of rendering conversation unintelligible to outsiders by tacking on some unmeaning ending to every word.
		In Germany the word Rotwalsch (the modern Rotwelsch, still the name for the cant of vagrants) occurs as early as the middle of the 13th century, and during the following century there appear lists of slang terms for various species of malefactors and begging impostors.
		However this may be, the later dictionaries of "Rotwelsch " not only retain most of the Hebrew words found in the earliest authorities, but add greatly to their number.

		The Yiddish cognate is shmuzn ‘to talk, chat’, from Hebrew shmu’ot ‘rumors’; apparently this and other words come to German and Dutch through Rotwelsch, the German thieves’ argot from the late Middle Ages.
		I haven’t been able to find a good overview of Rotwelsch in English (I did find a couple of antisemitic pages and some discussions in Mendele).
		At this point I am particularly interested in Rotwelsch records (I am guessing, mostly court records?) and dating.

		While he was working on it, he became fascinated with the Yiddish language and decided to write a special section on Yiddish and compile a dictionary of this language.
		He states very clearly that Yiddish is not the same as Rotwelsch and that many Hebraisms in Rotwelsch couldn't have come from Yiddish.
		This is not to say that there was no influence of Yiddish on Rotwelsch, only that it is much less significant than suggested by a couple of contributors to Mendele.

	AMÜSANT - Rotwelsch
		Jahrhundert gilt Rotwelsch als Sprache der Vagabunden, nur wenig später auch der Diebe und sonstigen Ganoven, das starke Anleihen aus dem Jiddischen und dem Zigeunerischen nahm.

		However, the word has been adopted into Rotwelsch, the secret vocabulary of German speaking thieves and fences (dating from the 19th).
		Like many borrowings from Yiddish (Rotwelsch consists only of borrowings, mainly from Yiddish, German dialects and Romani-languages), "mezuze" has undergone a ridiculing (blasphemous) change in meaning.
		Unfortunately, the ethymology you encounter mostly for the now-German words is unjust towards Yiddish: It acknowledges the Yiddish origin of the `word', but implies the (corrupted, ridiculing) Rotwelsch-meaning into it, thus doing great harm to the reputation of Yiddish with many Germanisten.

	Niclas Ulenhart Biography
		The result is a vibrant, popular, yet poetic style, which in its diversity and amplitude perfectly mirrors the Bohemian milieu and in its own way matches Cervantes.
		Ulenhart is a master of the German language; he even adapts the jargon of the Spanish picaros to the corresponding terms of German Rotwelsch (thieves' cant).
		On account of his involved periods, his diction has been compared to a poetischer Kanzleistil (poeticized chancery style) typical of the early baroque period around 1600.

		In many areas, the popular language also reflects the passage of a Yiddish-speaking population.
		This is the case of the German slang Rotwelsch, as well as the dialect of Amsterdam and Bargoens(the slang of the Dutch provinces of Holland), as reflected in the following expressions(TN): mazzel/mazel (luck), majim/mayim(water), bayis (prison), bolleboos/baleboss (owner of a house or shop, or an excellent, praiseworthy homemaker).
		Expressions like kvetch (someone who is always complaining), laks/lox (salmon) and yenta (a shrew or gossip) come from the Yiddish-speaking community in New York.
