Barallete
Barallete is the name of an argot employed by the traditional knife-sharpeners and umbrella holders (afiadores e paragĂĽeiros) of the Galician province of Ourense. It was based on the Galician language as spoken in Ourense, but its users substituted everyday words with invented ones of no linguistic connection, making it impossible for other people to understand it (for example, xilento was the Barellete word for "hunger").
