Bargoens is a form of Dutch slang. More specifically, it is a cant language that arose in the 17th century, and was used by criminals, tramps and travelling salesmen as a secret code, like Spain's Germanía or French Argot. However, the word "Bargoens" usually refers to the thieves' cant spoken in the latter half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century.

- Bargoens is a form of Dutch slang. More specifically, it is a cant language that arose in the 17th century, and was used by criminals, tramps and travelling salesmen as a secret code, like Spain's Germanía or French Argot. However, the word "Bargoens" usually refers to the thieves' cant spoken in the latter half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. The actual slang varied a lot from place to place; often "Bargoens" denotes the variety from the Holland region in the Netherlands, especially Amsterdam. While many words from Bargoens have faded into obscurity, others have become part of standard Dutch (but are more often used in the Amsterdam dialect than in other Dutch dialects). Examples of words now common in Dutch: hufter (bastard), gappen (to steal) and poen (money). As is the case for most thieves' languages, many of the words from Bargoens are either insults or concern money, crime or sex. Due to the large number of Jews who were travelling salesmen, and because of their position as relative outcasts, Bargoens has many Yiddish loanwords. Examples are sjacheren (to barter), mesjogge (crazy) or jatten (hands, to steal). The name of this cant is close to baragouin, which means "jargon" in French. It is also sometimes supposed to have been derived from 'Bourgondisch' ('Burgundish', i.e. from Burgundy).
- Bargoens of dieventaal is een term voor de geheimtaal die in Nederland in de eerste helft van de twintigste eeuw werd gehanteerd door mensen aan de zelfkant van de samenleving, zoals daklozen en zogenoemde landlopers, rondtrekkende handelaren en (markt)kooplieden en kermisklanten, en onderwereldfiguren (penoze). Veel Bargoense woorden maken inmiddels deel uit van de gewone spreektaal in met name Nederland, zij het veelal nog steeds beperkt tot bepaalde maatschappelijke klassen en subculturen.
