Greek

Noun

καλιαρντά (kaliarntá) n pl

  1. A cant used by the homosexual community in Greece, like Polari in Britain, in use since the 1940s. It uses a large amount of borrowings from French, Italian and Turkish. Once a secret language to evade the hostile community, it is now widely known thanks to television and thus not used much nowadays.
