Barallete is a largely vanished argot which used to be employed by the traditional knife-sharpeners and umbrella-repairers (afiadores e paragüeiros) of the Galician province of Ourense, in Spain. It was based on the Galician language as spoken in Ourense, but its users substituted everyday words with invented ones of no linguistic connection, making it impossible for other people to understand it. An example of Barallete is: The same sentence in standard Galician: Había que traballar aínda que chova ou haxa barro, porque facía falta diñeiro, que Deus non o dá de balde.
