Manisch

Manisch

Manisch refers either to a dialect of Rotwelsch (especially in the vicinity of greater Gießen, Germany) or a speaker thereof (plural: Manische or Manen). The term Manisch however, is also understood primarily throughout much of the German state of Hesse and parts of the Rhineland-Palatinate (German: Rheinland-Pfalz) to refer to the Manisch/Jenisch (alternatively "gypsy") elements of their vernacular.[1] Several words are recognisably derived from Yiddish (e.g. malocho, "work") or Romany (e.g. pani, "water").
