Transcribed from the 1874 Trubner & Co. edition by David Price "The English Gipsies and Their Language" by Charles Godfrey Leland is a cultural and linguistic study written in the late 19th century. This work seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the Gipsy community in England, focusing on their customs, language, and unique way of life. Leland emphasizes the importance of original accounts gathered directly from Gipsies themselves, presenting their language and stories to preserve a rapidly vanishing culture. The opening of the book sets the tone for this exploration by outlining Leland's personal interactions with Gipsies and his mission to document their ways authentically. He shares anecdotes and illustrates the intimate connection he forged with his subjects, showcasing their distinct worldview shaped by centuries of nomadic life. Leland's insights reveal both the Gipsy's pride in their language and culture, and the challenges they face in modern society, providing readers with a rich tapestry of stories and valuable cultural observations that invite further inquiry into the lives of these often misunderstood people.
