The technical terminology of hunting is often incomprehensible for the uninitiated. Due to that the special language of hunters is called «Jägerlatein» in German. This term has no equivalent in most of other modern languages. The same term «Jägerlatein» is used to describe implausible stories about hunting experiences. In this article both meanings of the term are analysed from an historical pespective and set in correlation with the medieval latin vocabulary of the hunt.
