the　present　will　probably　be　the　last　occasion　which　I　shall　have
  to　speak　of　the　Gitanos　or　anything　relating　to　them；　it　will
  perhaps　be　advisable　to　explain　the　meaning　of　this　word。　　In　the
  vocabulary　appended　to　former　editions　I　have　translated　Busno　by
  such　words　as　Gentile；　savage；　person　who　is　not　a　Gypsy；　and　have
  stated　that　it　is　probably　connected　with　a　certain　Sanscrit　noun
  signifying　an　impure　person。　　It　is；　however；　derived　immediately
  from　a　Hungarian　term；　exceedingly　common　amongst　the　lower　orders
  of　the　Magyars；　to　their　disgrace　be　it　spoken。　　The　Hungarian
  Gypsies　themselves　not　unfrequently　style　the　Hungarians　Busnoes；
  in　ridicule　of　their　unceasing　use　of　the　word　in　question。　　The
  first　Gypsies　who　entered　Spain　doubtless　brought　with　them　the
  term　from　Hungary；　the　language　of　which　country　they　probably
  understood　to　a　certain　extent。　　That　it　was　not　ill　applied　by
  them　in　Spain　no　one　will　be　disposed　to　deny　when　told　that　it
  exactly　corresponds　with　the　Shibboleth　of　the　Spaniards；　'Carajo；'
  an　oath　equally　common　in　Spain　as　its　equivalent　in　Hungary。
  Busno；　therefore；　in　Spanish　means　EL　DEL　CARAJO；　or　he　who　has
  that　term　continually　in　his　mouth。　　The　Hungarian　words　in　Spanish
  Gypsy　may　amount　to　ten　or　twelve；　a　very　inconsiderable　number；
  but　the　Hungarian　Gypsy　tongue　itself；　as　spoken　at　the　present
  day；　exhibits　only　a　slight　sprinkling　of　Hungarian　words；　whilst
  it　contains　many　words　borrowed　from　the　Wallachian；　some　of　which
  have　found　their　way　into　Spain；　and　are　in　common　use　amongst　the
  Gitanos。

  distinguished。　　In　fact；　what　has　been　said　of　the　Spanish　Gypsy
  dialect　holds　good　with　respect　to　the　English　as　commonly　spoken：
  yet　the　English　dialect　has　in　reality　suffered　much　less　than　the
