dbo:abstract
  • El quinqui o romanó és un idioma parlat a Espanya únicament pels mercheros o quincallers, una antiga ètnia nòmada que avui està assentada a diverses zones de l'Estat. Conté elements semblants però no iguals als del caló, de la germania i de l'erromintxela. Encara que hauria de descriure's més pròpiament com una llengua no classificada. (ca)
  • El idioma quinqui o romanó es un idioma hablado en España únicamente por los mercheros o quincalleros, una antigua etnia nómada que hoy está asentada en varias zonas del país. Contiene elementos parecidos pero no iguales a los del caló, de la germanía y del erromintxela. Aunque debería describirse más propiamente como una lengua no clasificada. (es)
  • Quinqui jargon is associated with quincalleros (tinkers), a semi-nomadic group who live mainly in the northern half of Spain. They prefer to be called mercheros. They are reduced in number and possibly vanishing as a distinct group. The language is an old form of Castilian, Germanía, with elements of Caló, a dialect of the Spanish Roma. The term comes from the word quincallería (ironmongery), from ironmongers who originated this cant as part of their trade. Because the men were frequently blamed for petty crime, in modern Spanish the word is associated with references to delinquent, petty thief, or hoodlum. The mercheros identify as a distinct group separate from the Roma gitanos. Scholars have many theories about the social origins of mercheros, summarized as the following: * Descendants of mechanical workers who arrived in Spain from central Europe in the 16th century; * Descendants of peasants who lost their land in the 16th century; * Descendants of intermarriage between the Roma and non-Roma populations; * Descendants of Muslims who became nomads after the expulsion in the 15th century to escape persecution; and/or * A mixture of the above.
