Rromani (Romani language)

Romani is an Indo-Aryan language spoken primarily by the Romani people across Europe and the world. It originated in northern India thousands of years ago and migrated westward, evolving into various dialects. Romani shares linguistic features with languages like Hindi and Punjabi but has incorporated vocabulary and influences from the countries where Romani communities have settled. It serves as a vital cultural expression and identity marker for the Romani people, reflecting a rich history of migration, resilience, and cultural diversity. Today, Romani is recognized as a minority language, with efforts ongoing to preserve and promote it.
