Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox language Шаблон:About

Beurla Reagaird (Шаблон:IPA-gd; previously also spelled Beurla Reagair) is a nearly extinct, Scottish Gaelic-based cant used by the indigenous Traveller community of the Highlands of Scotland, formerly often referred to by the disparaging name "tinkers".[1][2]

Name

Шаблон:Lang loosely translates as 'speech of metalworkers' in reference to their traditional occupation of being traveling blacksmiths.[3] Although Шаблон:Lang today refers to the English language, its original meaning is that of 'jargon' (from Old Irish Шаблон:Lang, Шаблон:Lang 'mouth' plus the abstract forming suffix Шаблон:Lang),[4] with the second element being linked to the word Шаблон:Lang 'order, array, arrangement' (compare with the Irish Шаблон:Lang 'speech of the smiths').[5]
