polari
Polari (or alternatively Parlare, Parlary, Palare, Palarie, Palari; from Italian ', "to talk") is a form of cant slang used in Britain by actors, circus and fairground showmen, merchant navy sailors, criminals, prostitutes, and the gay subculture. There is some debate about its origins, but it can be traced back to at least the nineteenth century and possibly the sixteenth century.〔''Collins English Dictionary'', Third Edition〕 There is a long-standing connection with Punch and Judy street puppet performers who traditionally used Polari to converse.
==Description==
Polari is a mixture of Romance (Italian〔"(British Spies: Licensed to be Gay )." ''Time''. 19 August 2008〕 or Mediterranean Lingua Franca), Romani, London slang,〔 backslang, rhyming slang, sailor slang, and thieves' cant. Later it expanded to contain words from the Yiddish language and from 1960s drug users. It was a constantly developing form of language, with a small core lexicon of about 20 words (including ' (good 〔("The secret language of polari" ). ''liverpoolmuseums.org.uk''.

London: Continuum ISBN 0-8264-5961-7〕 According to a Channel 4 television documentary, there was once (in London) an "East End" version which stressed Cockney rhyming slang and a "West End" version which stressed theatrical and Classical influences. There was some interchange between the two.
