Germanía
Germanía is the Spanish term for the argot used by criminals or in jails in Spain during 15th and 16th centuries. Its purpose is to keep outsiders out of the conversation. The ultimate origin of the word is the Latin word ''germanus'', through Catalan ''germà'' (brother). Some documentation for it occurs in picaresque works as early as the Spanish Golden Century, such as in Quevedo's ''El Buscón''.〔Christopher J. Pountain, ''A History of the Spanish Language Through Texts'' (Routledge, 2000), 159.〕 Some writers used it in poetry for comical effect. After the arrival of the Romani people and their frequent imprisonment, ''germanía'' incorporated much vocabulary from Romany and its descendant, the ''caló'' jargon. As time passed, several words entered popular use and even standard Spanish, losing their value for secrecy. ''Germanía'' survives today in the ''cheli'' jargon. ==War of the Germanías== (詳細はGalician ''irmandade'' and Castilian ''hermandad'') originated from the name of a revolt against the local nobility in Valencia, Spain during the sixteenth century. Subsequently, the term referred to the argot used by these communities and, eventually, it referred to improper argot.
