Quick links here to something that came up in a conversation at work - the language of the Irish Travellers, variously called the Cant, the Gammon, Shelta, or Pavee. This was spoken to some degree in my hometown of Bunclody, too, as evidenced by the second link below.

Shelta
Sally Connors speaks the Gammon

Also occasionally known as Shegam - spoken occasionally in Tuam, Co. Galway one of the Saw Doctors albums has some stuff in Shegam on it. Shegam has some Irish influences.
