Beurla Reagaird (Scottish Gaelic pronunciation: [ˈpjɤːrˠl̪ˠə ˈɾɛkərˠtʲ]; previously also spelled Beurla Reagair) is a nearly extinct, Scottish Gaelic-based cant used by the indigenous travelling community of the Highlands of Scotland, formerly often referred to by the disparaging name "tinkers".[1][2]
Name
Beurla Reagaird loosely translates as "speech of metalworkers" in reference to their traditional occupation of being traveling blacksmiths.[3] Although Beurla today refers to the English language, its original meaning is that of "jargon" (from Old Irish bélre, bél "mouth" plus the abstract forming suffix -re),[4] with the second element being linked to the word eagar "order, array, arrangement" (cf. the Irish Béarla na Saor "speech of the smiths").[5]

Il Beurla Reagaird ([ˈpjɤːrˠlˠ̪ə ˈɾɛkərˠtʲ]) è una lingua creola utilizzata in Scozia dalla locale comunità nomade originaria delle Highlands, tradizionalmente chiamati con il termine dispregiativo di tinkers (stagnai). Questo idioma, basato principalmente sul gaelico scozzese, presenta forti contaminazioni dall'inglese e dallo scots.[2][3]Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
