"Die jenische Sprache" by Engelbert Wittich is a scholarly work focused on a specific language, written in the early 20th century. This publication explores the unique lexicon of the Jenisch language, which is associated with itinerant traders and is heavily influenced by both the German and Romani languages. The text serves as a vital resource for understanding this increasingly rare and complex jargon. At the start of the work, the author sets the stage by noting the gradual decline of the Jenisch language, likening its documentation to that of languages on the verge of extinction. Wittich's personal background, having grown up among traders and possibly being of Romani descent, lends credibility to his exploration of this secretive lexicon. The opening provides an overview of the structure of the work, which includes an introduction, a comprehensive vocabulary list, and examples of the language in use, all aimed at preserving and clarifying this unique dialect for scholarly pursuits.
