hindity mush； （80） as you well know。 I suppose you have not forgot
how； fifteen years ago； when you made horseshoes in the little
dingle by the side of the great north road； I lent you fifty
cottors （81） to purchase the wonderful trotting cob of the
innkeeper with the green Newmarket coat； which three days after you
sold for two hundred。
'Well； brother； if you had wanted the two hundred instead of the
fifty； I could have lent them to you； and would have done so； for I
knew you would not be long pazorrhus to me。 I am no hindity mush；
brother； no Irishman； I laid out the other day twenty pounds in
buying ruponoe peamengries； （82） and in the Chonggav； （83） have a
house of my own with a yard behind it。
'AND； FORSOOTH； IF I GO THITHER； I CAN CHOOSE A PLACE TO LIGHT
AFIRE UPON； AND SHALL HAVE NO NECESSITY TO ASK LEAVE OF THESE HERE
GENTILES。'
Well； dear reader； this last is the translation of the Gypsy
sentence which heads the chapter； and which is a very
characteristic specimen of the general way of speaking of the
English Gypsies。
The language； as they generally speak it； is a broken jargon； in
which few of the grammatical peculiarities of the Rommany are to be
distinguished。 In fact； what has been said of the Spanish Gypsy
dialect holds good with respect to the English as commonly spoken：
yet the English dialect has in reality suffered much less than the
Spanish； and still retains its original syntax to a certain extent；
its peculiar manner of conjugating verbs； and declining nouns and
pronouns。

SPANISH DIALECT

ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF THE ABOVE
OUR Father who dwellest there in heaven； may Gentile and Gypsy love
thy name； thy kingdom come； may they do thy word here on earth as
it is done there in heaven。 Give us to…day our daily bread； （84）
and forgive us indebted to thee as we forgive them indebted to us；
（85） suffer not that we fall into NO temptation； take us out from
all evil。 （86） Thine （87） is the kingdom my God； thine the strong
hand； thine all goodness in all time。 Aye。 Truth。
HUNGARIAN DIALECT
The following short sentences in Hungarian Gypsy； in addition to
the prayer to the Virgin given in the Introduction； will perhaps
not prove unacceptable to the reader。 In no part of the world is
the Gypsy tongue at the present day spoken with more purity than in
Hungary； （88） where it is used by the Gypsies not only when they
wish to be unintelligible to the Hungarians； but in their common
conversation amongst themselves。
From these sentences the reader； by the help of the translations
which accompany them； may form a tolerable idea not only of what
the Gypsy tongue is； but of the manner in which the Hungarian
Gypsies think and express themselves。 They are specimens of
genuine Gypsy talk … sentences which I have myself heard proceed
from the mouths of the Czigany； they are not Busno thoughts done
into gentle Rommany。 Some of them are given here as they were
written down by me at the time； others as I have preserved them in
my memory up to the present moment。 It is not improbable that at
some future time I may return to the subject of the Hungarian
Gypsies。

Much I ponder why you ask me （questions）； and why you should come

and a big beard。
VOCABULARY OF THEIR LANGUAGE
＇This section of the book could not be transcribed as it contained
many non…european languages＇
APPENDIX … MISCELLANIES IN THE GITANO LANGUAGE
ADVERTISEMENT
IT is with the view of preserving as many as possible of the
monuments of the Spanish Gypsy tongue that the author inserts the
following pieces； they are for the most part； whether original or
translated； the productions of the 'Aficion' of Seville； of whom
something has been said in the Preface to the Spurious Gypsy Poetry
of Andalusia； not the least remarkable； however； of these pieces is
a genuine Gypsy composition； the translation of the Apostles' Creed
by the Gypsies of Cordova； made under the circumstances detailed in
the second part of the first volume。 To all have been affixed
translations； more or less literal； to assist those who may wish to
form some acquaintance with the Gitano language。
