"charabia" meaning in French

See charabia in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ʃa.ʁa.bja/ Audio: LL-Q150 (fra)-DSwissK-charabia.wav Forms: charabias [plural]
Etymology: Attested since at least 1838, originally to denote the incomprehensible talk of Auvergnats. The further etymology is uncertain. It's believed to possibly mimick a perceived Auvergnat pronunciation of /s/ as /ʃ/. Others theorize it's derived from Occitan charrar (“to chatter”), or Franco-Provençal charabarat (horse market). A borrowing from Spanish algarabía has been theorized but deemed less likely from a phonetic and geographic perspective.
