I read the book "Clockwork Orange" around 1970, so it's a little hazy now. The book was written in the gang's lingo, a quasi-English/Russian dialect. There was a glossary at the back of the book that was well used. It was about 100 pages before I was used to the lingo and my friends said about the same. It was a "horrorshow" (good) read.
