Shouldn't this be at Rinkeby Swedish? I don't see how keeping the exact Swedish word is of any particular value in this case. Uppland 11:15, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

I've chosen to be bold and move the article. - ulayiti (talk) 17:24, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Gitta?

Is there a source for "gitta" coming from Turkish? I have always assumed English "git" as a plausible origin. (Although I don't know any Turkish.) 惑乱 分からん * \)/ (\ (< \) (2 /) /)/ * 18:11, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Alright, I found a statement it was from Turkish "gitmek" with the same meaning. Since the dialect is heavily Turkish-influenced, anyway, I'd agree that sounds plausible. 惑乱 分からん * \)/ (\ (< \) (2 /) /)/ * 18:18, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pidgin?

Could it really be described as a pidgin? It generally follows the same basic grammar and core vocabulary as standard Swedish. 惑乱 分からん * \)/ (\ (< \) (2 /) /)/ * (talk) 00:03, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fett

Has there been any alternative etymologies proposed than "phat"? 惑乱 分からん * \)/ (\ (< \) (2 /) /)/ * (talk) 11:23, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
