Re: Language Trees: Do you use them?

 

Thieve's cant is more like slang and hidden meaning, not a language or often even a code. Take modern drug slang, for instance, where saying something as simple as "Hey, is Mary there? I owe her 40" is actually a drug deal in progress. The slang is ever changing but those "in the know" catch on pretty quick while the authorities can take some time to catch up.
