Talk:Tarish language

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Speaking only as a person of AngloRomani descent and not as an academic expert, I have to say that I have never heard, in the community, of a language called Tarish. Our language is either called Romani or Pogadi Jib, depending on who you talk to. Likewise, I've not come across a group within the community called the Tarish either, although I live mostly in Australia and perhaps they have not travelled there, or do not participate in the community. I believe therefore that this entry is mistaken in associating "Tarish" with the AngloRomani dialect.

Cheers,

  • This article has potential but, if kept, it needs to be developed under a different editor. -Frederick Boca 19:38, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • You may wish to check the publications of Die Gesellschaft für die Studie der Völker des fremden Bluts. That organization, which naturally became defunct at the end of WWII, had published materials relating to every minority group in Europe. -Frederick Boca 20:39, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • DELETE I wish to change my vote, if allowed. I contacted that group listed in the article. I learned that the Bishop never claimed in his book that the Tarish were Irish Travelers, but that they were simply described as a nomadic people. He had mistook the term Shelta to mean the common language of all nomadic peoples in Great Britain. His book had been rushed into production without proper fact checking. There is a Tarish language but it is not as Historia/Rachel had described. I also asked why there were no google hits for "Tarish Language." They replied that it is the ad-hoc name given it when they created their foundation. Since he wrote that book, he has learned that the Tarish are descended from a small group Zincali Gypsies from Southern Spain who made it to England where they came under the influence of displaced herectical monks who had followed Elizzabeth Barton. These monks created the myth of a Tarshish connection. I googled the Zincali and found 59 hits. This historia/rachel may have been a disgruntled ex-church member. -Frederick Boca 01:01, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] New Info

The Rosetta Project kinks Tarish with Shelta and with Iberian.

Actually, the Rosetta Project Resources page can be added to by anybody, and is only cleaned out once every month or two. All that means is that someone decided to abuse the "Add a resource" link by leaving the resource field empty and typing "Tarish" in the "Also Relevant To" field. Try it. - Mustafaa

[edit] Edit Wars
