Khalsa bole (Gurmukhi: ਖਾਲਸਈ ਬੋਲੇ or ਖਾਲਸਾ ਬੋਲੀ; khālăsaī bōlē, khālăsā bōlī; meaning "words of Khalsa"; alternatively transcribed as Khalsa boli) is a bravado-based language variety developed and spoken by members of the Akali-Nihang sect of Sikhism. It has also been described as a coded language. Sant Singh Sekhon describes the lect as a "grandiloquent patois" that "comprises euphemisms and jargon symbolic of high-spirited confidence and courage". The Nihangs use certain vocabulary with distinct semantics.
