Lóxoro

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lóxoro or húngaro[1] is an argot derived from Spanish and used by a number of trans people, the gay community, and sex workers in Peru.[2][1] The language uses cryptolalisation to make the language unrecognisable and secret.[1]

The language is said to have emerged during the 1960s or 1970s. Its first appearance in the public domain was with the Peruvian comedian Fernando Armas' gay character Fulvio Carmelo.[1]

Lóxoro's usage became better known after the 2012 short Peruvian film Loxoro, written and directed by Claudia Llosa.[3][4]
