The Romani language of the Gypsies

During the 18th century, Maria Theresa, who was the empress of Austro-Hungary tried to abolish the Romani language. She did this by taking away Roma children from their parents and giving them to Hungarian foster parents or state run orphanages in an effort to ensure that the children did not grow up learning how to speak Romani. The end result of this was that there are currently a large number of Hungarian Romas who do not speak Romani. The same practice was applied in Spain [...]

Romani (or Romany or Gipsy) is the language of the Roma and Sinti, who came originally from now northern India and parts of Pakistan. It is an Indo-Aryan language (like Hindi, Gujarati, etc.). Romani is spoken by a total of 4.8 million people in 42 European countries, including Romania, Russia, Serbia and Montenegro, Bulgaria and Slovakia.
