[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
- Fala dos arxinas
- Gacería
- Mascuence
- 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?
