They may call it “The Cant” yet “The Cant” of American Irish and Scottish tinkers is a cant mutually unintelligible with each other. There are multiple dialects calling themselves “The Cant”.

Same with the Roma speech. Same with Jamaican neighborhood Englịsh. It is not as if there was a series of textbooks teaching the proper enunciation and use of Cant.
