Argad'z

Machine-translated from the French article

Argad'z — which can be described as a cryptolect — is a type of slang traditionally used by the gadzarts, students and former students of the École nationale des Arts et Métiers (ENSAM). It is characterized by a specific vocabulary made up of a mix of borrowings from traditional slang, military vocabulary, or words created within the school, as well as various distinctive rules in grammar and phonetics. Traces of argad'z can be found dating back almost to the founding of the school.
