Honestly, fuck this show. It's always been a psyop to get uneducated whites to accept jews and gypsies as white.

it's especially hilarious because a jew plays an italian and one of the most anglo actors currently around plays the jew. Not to mention palest of the pale celts playing gypsies

Well I've never seen the show, but some Irish used to be called "gypsy Travellers" because they lived a life somewhat similar to gypsies. With the tents and all that. They were just the descendants of the Irish that didn't urbanize.

I don't know if they were going for that angle or if they were supposed to play actual pajeet gypsies.

The gypsy Travellers spoke a mix of Irish and English that's classified as its own pidgin language, shelta.

It can sound very different from Irish *or* English because it mixes pronunciation, grammar, and orthography with English. Which is a language that is nothing like Irish in its own right. A lot of the words in the language are a hodgepodge of English and Irish that form something that sounds like neither.

But, to be fair, I doubt they had actors speaking shelta. It's almost a dead language. There's 30,000 speakers left in the UK who probably today speak a variety of the language with heavy english admixture (levels of English and Irish mixture in the language varied quite a bit)

i looked around and apparently they are actually meant to be pajeets. It's not shelta, it's not irish, it's the so called "romani (jeet) language"
