     McDonagh traces the origins of Travellers back to at least the twelfth century by referring to Traveller-like characters in Irish mythology and emphasizing connections between Traveller language, referred to as Shelta, Gammon, Cant or Minceirtoiree, which literally means "Traveller Talk," and Old Irish.
