Overview

The dictionary presents the argot of German cyptolects, which have been documented in the last 20 years as part of the resurrection of research in jargons. We are dealing here with the dialects of what is known as Rotwelsch (thieves' cant) which could function as cryptolects by integrating words from donors such as Jewish German, Romany, Romance and Slavonic languages and medieval thieves' cant. The dictionary is based on surveys of speakers and written sources and is ordered by word families. Each article presents a headword together with written variants, meanings, examples of usage, and information on the source of the words.

Reviews

""Der sperrt die flippflappen op: Klaus Siewert legt ein Wörterbuch über Rotwelschdialekte vor. Damit hat er nicht nur ein sprachwissenschaftliches Standardwerk geschaffen, sondern auch ein bedeutendes kulturelles Erbe gesichert."" (Wolfgang Krischke in: Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 25.9.2024) ""Seit Siegmund Andreas Wolfs Wörterbuch des Rotwelschen von 1956 ist das im Jahr 2023 erschienene Wörterbuch deutscher Geheimsprachen (WGH) von Klaus Siewert und Rudolf Post nunmehr das wichtigste und umfangreichste Nachschlagewerk für die Beschäftigung mit den derzeit 68 bekannten Rotwelsch-Dialekten des Deutschen in Deutschland, Luxemburg, Österreich, Tschechien und der Schweiz."" (Guido Kallfell in: Rheinisch-Westfälischen Zeitschrift für Volkskunde 2023/24)
