Madainn mhath.

As promised, here are my links to information about Shelta.  Some of these
are more about the general culture of the Travellers than about their
language in particular, though I have weeded out such as only mention the
language once or twice.  Nevertheless, some of these contain only brief
references to the language.  Some are much more detailed, a couple of which
even provide English to Shelta and Shelta to English lexicons (though one of
them has been suppressed by its author on the grounds that it was being used
by Irish police to harass Travellers).
