The hunter language or Waidmannssprache is no actual language, but sits down together from approx. 3,000 common and further almost 10,000 the passive vocabulary which can be added to technical terms from the jagdlichen customs. It ranks among the oldest technical languages and condition languages with most terms at all.
The expressions are often regional specific; many were transferred already some centuries old and since their coinage partly also to the colloquial language (to "one behind the spoons someone give"). To differentiate is the hunter language of hunter latin, which represents exaggerated experience stories, in which itself the storyteller usually of the hunter language served. Sometimes the hunter uses hunter latin similarly as the sailor the sailor yarn for the joke around the unaquainted one in errs to lead or untrue stories tell. Thus also strange kinds of game develop like among other things the rattle support or the Wolpertinger.
The hunter language has its origins on the one hand in the precise description of nature observations and indications of the game which can be hunted (as pure hunt language), on the other hand in the conscious joggle to the "common people" (in particular fewer "farmer hunters" bending to the clarifying). Other theories attribute the special language of the hunters to a former superstition, which prevailed and prevails in nearly all peoples. The actual language would forewarn the forest and the game during the hunt avoided, since one believed, all too clear words and intentions, why one informed oneself at the most by spare words (master Petz, etc.).
The use and care of the hunter language within the hunter shank belong to the jagdlichen customs. Opposite (considerationful) the hunter does not use the hunter language after possibility, in order to avoid understanding problems.
