Polari is a language that was used by the LGBTQ+ community, actors, carnival workers, circus people, wrestlers, fishmongers, sailors, sex workers, street puppeteers, and some criminals from as far back as the 16th century, and before that as Parleyaree, though probably more recently. It was primarily spoken in the British Isles and had heavy influence from Italian, Latin, Spanish, Sabir, Romani, Shelta, Yiddish, rhyming slang, backslang, sailor slang, thieves' cant, and drug subculture slang. While Polari has, for the most part, fallen out of usage, I am attempting to make a translator for a more modernized version of Polari, with updated words for more general usage.
