There are a ton of regionalisms in english as well, surely more than in german since it's so widespread.

This is sadly true. You ove more than 20km and the english changes.
I myself am a Hybrid Scot (Borders) and Geordie, and my local dialect has so many words not found in the english language. Most of it from ancient romany words.

Chava means Boy, from the word čhavo.
Gadgie meaning Man from the word gadže
Yag meaning fire is of course from the word jag. (English J has a different sound so your J is our Y)
Pani is Rain from the same word meaning water.
Ladge is to Embarrass from laʒ.

And we're the only town in the whole of the UK to use these words, all cos of some Gypsie who built this town centuries ago.

Gadgie is close to gagiu which is gypsy slang for guy or boy. You actually have a town built by gypsies?

I dread asking why you know gypsy language... And it's embarassing cause it's wrong..

The gypsy word is gagio. Gagiu is the word Romanians use borrowed from them

The origin is Turkish (aghadjik) I think...

I don't know what kind of Oxford approved dictionary of gypsy word origins are you using, but I'm pretty super sure gypsies use the word gagiu for guy / boy or even man and not gagio or aghadjik or whatever word borrowed from whatever culture and language some millions years ago before dinosaurs. I also haven't heard romanians use it, only brownies, but maybe that's because I'm not a mitic from the south ;)

Yes, my town has some amazing history. Like it is one of the most fought over towns in the world, and has change country ownership 13 times.

I believe he's using the "I live where the ****ing gypsies I hate came from" dictionary.

Imma make Obnoxious my spokesman here.

Gypsies come from South Asia. Their "language" (grunts) is inspired from languages such as Turkish and Hindi (as in India, where they originated), by inspired I mean words borrowed and simplified.

After they came and saw this rich land, with welcoming people, they settled here and adapted their language to our Latin roots, so you see more vowels in their language (gagio being a good example). They settled here because people around Moldavia have always been very welcoming of anyone, from Russians, Turkish, Ukraine, etc, to even gypsies. They later gathered more and more around, eventually settling in the southern part of Romania (Wallachia, which later united with Transylvania, Moldavia and Bassarabia to form the "Big Round Romania" in folklore) which was more cold due to heavier influences of our Slavic neighbors (Bulgaria, Serbia and Montenegro, etc) and finally went to Transylvania where they found even more rejections from both the people and the other minority, Hungarians (which till this date still claim Transylvania is Hungarian territory). And, after we got into the EU, they started infesting the rest of Europe, going for even better freeloading, in countries like Germany, Sweden, France, etc.

Short-version history of gypsies, delivered. They are not Rroma, Romani (from the Romanian word, Români (â is read like ah)), or whatever they want to be called. That is the term they want to enforce to further the confusion between Gypsies and Romanians.

which later united with Transylvania, Moldavia and Bassarabia.

For better or worse. Are you moldovean or oltean Radvo?

[Radvo]

Moldavia. I come from Red, currently live at Blue.

Ah, Bucuresti. No wonder you hate gypsies so much. I'd rather kill myself than live in Bucuresti tbh fam. I'd rather put a bullet through my head. I've beet there a few times as I have friends there and relatives, but I wouldn't ever live there.

[DeadlyWanderer]

Mmmmmm gimme them speeds. That "Faster than 99% of Croatia" is kind of sad.

That's exaggerating.. As long as you stay away from the ghetto zones and the "infested" areas, you should be fine.
