[edit] Missing Spanish jargons

User:Proto asks for hints to stub the missing links. I won't have time in the near future. Meanwhile you can start with:

• Asturian Bron
  • Broun is a French variety (the original?)
• Barallete
  • In Galician
  • Google cache of a Spanish page
• Fala dos arxinas
  • In Galician
• Gacería
  • Cantalejo
  • Fuenterrebollo
• Mascuence
  • eo:Eŭska_lingvo#La_e.C5.ADska_kaj_.C4.B5argonoj
• Xíriga
  • Xíriga

Most of them are in Spanish.

[edit] Another slang

Before i add this, has anyone outside the UK come across this type of secret language:?

We called it Agi-pagi (ay - ghi pay - ghi ).

it works by adding -ag- before every vowel, with some exceptions (such as a single "a" which becomes "agi":

"This is a test sentence in blue " translates into

"Thagis agis agi tagest sagentagence agin blague"

Pronunciation: "thay-gis ay-giz a-guy tay-guest say-gay-en-tay-ay-gen-see ay-ginn blay-goo"

We were taught this as children by our parents, who ran a shop and used it to warn each other about shoplifters etc, and have private conversations from strangers.

Has anyone got another name for this language?

This sounds like a variation of Gibberish. Tomer^talk 03:14, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
