definition of calo

The term slang designates the particular language used by gypsies. So he hot language, also known as zincalo and Iberian Romani, is a language that comes from romany, indigenous language of the gypsy community, which is estimated to have been around for about a thousand years on the planet and is currently spoken on the continents American, European, Asian and African, where individuals of gypsy origin swarm.

Now, the calo implies a sub-branch of the Romani language, which due to the geographical location in which it is born is known as the Iberian and western branch, meanwhile, is in Spain where most of its speakers are located. It is also widely spoken in countries such as Portugal, France and in Brazil, for which it is plausible that we find different dialects of the same in the countries mentioned, for example, the Spanish heat, the Brazilian heat, among others.

The influence it has received from the two languages ​​with which it is mostly related, on the one hand, is remarkable. the Castilian, Romance language par excellence and on the other part of the Basque.

Most agree that calo arose from the intention of its original speakers, the gypsies, to hide their original language, Romani, then, in combination with its greatest influence, which is Spanish, calo appeared.

Despite this dissemination that we are commenting on, neither Spain, nor Portugal, nor France, some of the countries in which it is most widely spoken, have recognized it as an official language and have not even declared its formal protection because it is one of the forms communication minorities that exist in their territory, which would include it in the minority languages.

In other words, even to this day, calo continues to be considered in front of the dominant languages, a minority language, as those languages ​​are called that at some point in their history have suffered prohibitions, persecutions and even marginalized results due to their origin.
