{{about|the Gaelic-based cant|the Scots-based cant|Scottish Cant}}Beurla Reagaird ({{IPA-gd|ˈpjɤːrˠl̪ˠə ˈɾɛkərˠtʲ}}; previously also spelled Beurla Reagair) is a nearly extinct, Scottish Gaelic-based cant used by the indigenous travelling community of the Highlands of Scotland, formerly often referred to by the disparaging name "tinkers".^[1]^[2]

Name

{{lang|gd|Beurla Reagaird}} loosely translates as "speech of metalworkers".^[3] Although Beurla today refers to the English language, its original meaning is that of "jargon" (from Old Irish {{lang|sga|bélre}}, bél "mouth" plus the abstract forming suffix -re),^[4] with the second element being linked to the word eagar "order, array, arrangement" (cf. the Irish Béarla na Saor "speech of the smiths").^[5]
