The dictionary presents the argot of German cyptolects, which have
been documented in the last 20 years as part of the resurrection of
research in jargons. We are dealing here with the dialects of what
is known as Rotwelsch (thievesa (TM) cant) which could function as
cryptolects by integrating words from donors such as Jewish German,
Romany, Romance and Slavonic languages and medieval thievesa (TM)
cant. The dictionary is based on surveys of speakers and written
sources and is ordered by word families. Each article presents a
headword together with written variants, meanings, examples of
usage, and information on the source of the words.
