Šatrovački
Šatrovački (; Serbian Cyrillic: шатровачки) or šatra (; Serbian Cyrillic: шатра) is an argot within the Serbo-Croatian language. Šatrovački was initially developed by various subcultures and criminal groups in Yugoslavia, and became employed as a device of secret communication. Today, it is primarily used among youth as a form of pig Latin. It is more widespread in urban areas, such as capitals Belgrade (Serbia), Zagreb (Croatia) and Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina). Usual šatrovački Words are formed by replacing the syllable order. For example: pivo (beer), becomes vopi. The new word has the same meaning as the original word stem. Since the spelling is nearly phonetic it does not change. However, sometimes one of the vowels is changed to make the new word easier to pronounce, avoid ambiguity, or if the stem word is not in nominative. For example, trava ("grass", marijuana) would become vutra instead of vatra ("fire"). Some words are more commonly spoken in Šatrovački than others, but there is no specific rule. Examples of transformed sentences (although, most of the words in a single sentence are rarely transformed) are: Brate, neću da igram fudbal. — Tebra, ćune da grami balfud. ("Bro, I don't want to play football.") Zemun zakon brate. — Munze konza tebra. (literally: "Zemun is the law, bro" - meaning: "Zemun rules, dude") Pazi brate, murija! — Zipa tebra, rijamu! ("Watch out mate - cops!", murija slang for police) Examples - (Dizelaši, chavs) - (throw; imperative) - (don't; imperative) - (a little, few) - (brother; vocative) - (Gypsy) - (peasant, redneck) - (watch out, pay attention; imperative) - (retard) - (fast food) - (psychopath) - (head, derived from accusative) - (slut) - (weed, marijuana) - (coffee) - (drugs) - (beer) - (beans) - (hello) - (stinks) - (say, speak; imperative) - (law, great, excellent) - (soccer) - (device, spliff) - (cunny, pretty girl, usually pejorative) - (cops, pejorative) - (suck; imperative) - (hypocorism, usually vocative) - (hypocorism, usually vocative) - (hypocorism) - - (Block rules) - (Zemun rules) - (gold) - (asshole) - (dick, penis) - (cunt, pussy) - (husband) - - (no shit, cut the crap; imperative) - (pig) - (smoke, blow; imperative) Utrovački Utrovački (Утровачки) is a more complex form of šatrovački. Words are formed using: U + last part + ZA + first part + NJE. E.g. vikipedija (Wikipedia) becomes ukipedijazavinje. Today, utrovački is not widely used. Alternative Utrovački is same as above, but without "ZA", e.g. pivo (beer) becomes uvopinje, or cigare (cigarettes) becomes ugarecinje. Syllable omission A more simplified version of šatrovački is using only parts of the word, while excluding the first syllable, and is most commonly used among young people in Serbia. For example, koncert (concert) would be shortened to cert. The rules of creating a new word that can be used in nominative while the stem is not apply similarly to standard šatrovački. An example of a full sentence would be: (My friend and I are going to a concert on the Fortress) This is particularly characteristic of
