Romani inflected languages

Romani, an Indo-Aryan language spoken by the Roma people, is highly inflected, meaning words change form to express grammatical relationships like case, number, and gender. Unlike English, where word order often indicates meaning, Romani uses these variations to clarify roles in a sentence. For example, nouns may have different endings depending on their grammatical case (subject, object, etc.), and verbs change form to show tense or person. This inflectional system allows for nuanced expression and typically results in longer, more complex words that pack grammatical information within them.
