Gypsy language in Thinner is Norwegian

[The Outsider]

Yeah, I came across this because I am the type of person who, when he sees a foreign language in his book, instead of interpreting it through context, translates it online. But at first I had forgotten what the Gypsy language was, so I just typed in a phrase and went down the list of European languages on google translator, and it popped up in English under Swedish, so that's how I figured it out, and confirmed this fact on Wiki.

Well, as a person I do not like when any author or movie maker or whatever media used to communicate tales makes Russian people speak American, or Gypsies speak Swedish - unless the Russians ARE speaking American, and the gypsies are speaking Swedish but do NOT let it be because A, I am too sloppy to do some research and do it right, and B, No one will ever find out.
I happen to be Swedish, and in a way - in some deep crevice of my mind, the latter makes me feel as if people who DO understand because of their background somehow was never really counted into the audience.
Making too much of it? Taking it too hard? Well, then just wait until I start going on the characterization of the Swedish woman ("Jaaa, I am IIInngaa)

Haha, really?XD I've only read Thinner in Swedish, so I had no idea..

Hm, the translator must have found norweigan/swedish as a pretty non-exotic gypsy language (it all depends on what you're used to I suppose), 'cause in my book they speak something else. (I..think..Or my language skills are just non existant ) Do anyone have a clue which language this is?

"Vo mudardás muri Mami! ai me phenáv tuke meréla anda kodeá! Meréla!"

or another example:

"Le sáma ke jáltar, Samuel! Te jáltar!"

I remember I was annoyed for not understanding it, but it was a long time ago I read it (just looked it up).

Sometimes when Gypsy language is united with Scandinavian it may mean that here is present 'secret' jargon.

That explains the Muppet Show I was watching recently. The Swedish Chef ( I know the we are talking about Norwegian, just bear with me) was making pies and all kinds of crazy stuff was happening....frogs and pigs were fornicating, cats and dogs were living together....it was nuts.
