	Shelta language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shelta (also known as Gammen, Sheldru, Pavee, or simply the Cant) is a language spoken by parts of the Irish Traveller people.
		Shelta's vocabulary is based largely on Irish, with many words inverted in a style not unlike French verlan slang; for example, the word for 'girl' is lackeen, from the Irish cailín, and the word rodas, meaning door, has its roots in the Irish doras.
		Although heavily influenced by non-Celtic languages, Shelta is sometimes mistakenly classified as part of the Goidelic branch of the Celtic language family; it is, in fact, a cant based on Irish and English, with a primarily English-based syntax.

		Shelta had distinctive forms in the past, relating to occupation, although the differences in dialect are much less clearly defined today between the various strata of Traveller society.
		Both the Celtic scholar Kuno Meyer (1858-1919) and the Romani scholar John Sampson (1862-1931) believed Shelta to be a language that was centuries old, perhaps from as far back as before the thirteenth century.
		Structurally Shelta is more similar to English than it is to Irish Gaelic, although the core of its vocabulary has Gaelic origins.

	Travellers' Rest
		The asterisked entries in the Shelta column are in place of contemporary Irish Traveller Cant words that have been erased in this public listing, in deference to the Irish Travellers' desire for privacy.
		Since this list is primarily for their use to expand the Cant if they wish, and since they already know and use those omitted words, I feel that this is the best compromise presently possible between the conflicting goals of secrecy, preservation and/or restoration.
		The old Shelta words were derived largely from the 1937 edition of R.A. Stewart Macalister's "The Secret Languages Of Ireland." There's a pronunciation guide at the bottom of the list.

	Etruscan
		The mention of Etruscan in connection with arbitrarily contrived speeches, cants, jargons etc. may sound far fetched, Etruscan is an ancient language whereas the notices of cant and other secret languages are of more recent occurance, with one exception and this is Shelta, the language of the Irish Travelers or Tinker clans.
		Shelta is a cant or arbitrarily contrived speech which the eminent Gaelic scholar Kuno Meyer believed to have been at one time the possession of the Filid or ancient poets of Ireland, and to be the same as the cryptic speech called Ogham.
		Kuno Meyer goes on to describe the processes by which Shelta words were fabricated from the Irish ones, and it is with these same processes applied to Latin words that we will begin to understand how Etruscan words were formed.

		We may refer to Shelta as a jargon, a controversial term here, perhaps, but the minkeer always rated it as a language of an impoverished nomadic but conservative community, socially ostracised and often subject to rough conditions and treatment, but still preserving old forms and pronunciations.
		Meda Ryan in her very interesting and well-researched book on Biddy Early (1978) said that Shelta was a secret jargon used for many generations by Irish tinkers, gypsies, beggars and pipers.
		Like Irish, Shelta is nouncentred and Big Jim's vocabulary recorded by me had at least 90% of an Irish background, with some loans from Romany and other tongues.

		Anthropologists and sociolinguists believe Shelta serves two functions for the Irish Traveller community: a means of maintaining secrecy and a method of reinforcing membership in the community.
		Shelta is taught from birth and only within the community, not in any school, according to Heather Tondini, writing in the Journal of Pidgin and Creole Languages.
