This is so trippy to listen to because I haven’t been fluent since I was a toddler living with my grandmother, but my brain is convinced it understands what he’s saying, even if I don’t.

Fascinating! Sounds like a mixture of Hindi, Farsi, and Italian. The Roma migrated from the provinces of Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, to Eastern Europe and other parts of the world. What I am hearing are elements of Hindi such as Beesh for 20, Panch for 5, etc mixed with lots of Italian words, and a smattering of Farsi.

He speaks a sort of standardized Romani chib, apt for radio and tv emissions. There are quite a lot of Romani dialects spoken in Kosovo, and this is understandable by all speakers (even if spoken by very few). Anyway, this sounds to me mainly as Arli Romani, which belongs to the Balkan group of dialects. Of course, I may be wrong about this last point, because I'm not a native speaker of Romani, and furthermore, I know Vlax Romani better than Balkan Romani.

You REALLY need to specify what kind of Romani this is in the video title. It's a group of languages, not just a single entity.

So happy to see no antiziganist comments. Beautiful language!

My students (little romani girls) taught me romani numbers and I recognized them all while he was speaking. :D

this sounds like some language from India and Iran with a hint of greek and italian, spoken with a slavic accent. It represents really well what Indoeuropean Language means!!

Best dude! Love your content.

What people have to understand is that there are 2 subgroups of Romani dialects spoken in Eastern Europe. In countries like Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Estonia or Russia, the dialects are completely different to the dialects spoken in the Balkans, Hungary, Romania, Moldova, Czech Republic and Slovakia. The reasoning behind this that both groups came to Europe from different directions and have gradually adapted the accents of languages spoken from those regions and also new local words have been adapted which the Romani language didn’t have.

I'm Romani 3rd generation born and raised in America and I understand everything he said the only thing that make it difficult to really understand was his accent other then that I understood all of what he said

My family is Romungre and Sinti....I understand Daut fine. Beautiful

Beautiful language! I recognize "panch" from the languages of North India. Thanks so much for sharing. God bless

My cell mate in jail taught me some of this. Vlado I hope you're doing well out there.

I like the sound of this language!

I have been waiting for so long to hear this language properly. It sounds way more Turkish/Romanian than I expected, and doesn't seem to have a lot of Slavic influence. You can also hear some Romanian and Hindi words if I'm not wrong (like some numbers)

It almost sounds like an amalgamation of German, French, Spanish, and Italian.

I' am rom from Slovakia and i understand everything what he said

I have family that is gypsy and while I accept my roma heritage am not a gypsy by definition. I do however know how to speak Romani, and this guy has it pretty much right on. There are a few accent issues, and gender issues that he had such as saying certain words in masculine form when it would have been more proper to use a feminine form. I speak Romani all the time with my family, and have even gone as far as to teach my friends how to have at least a basic conversation with me in Romani, so that our conversations would not be eavesdropped on, as Romani is, while still really heavily used, it is not Widely used by a diverse group, but rather by a specific and singular group.

Roma people ancestors came from india love sister and brother Roma love from indis

Romani has such a fascinating history. I'm no expert, but I found it interesting that I didn't hear any traces of Indian-subcontinental phenology.

Some words are so Indian like panj (number 5 in Hindi), beesh (number 20 in Hindi)

I speak Urdu/Hindi and yep apparently the Romani come from the subcontinent but the language sounds more Balkan... Minus the numbers lol

Igen shukar!

To my ears it sounds almost like a cross between French and a nondescript Indian language

The intonation sounds like romanian but the phonetics are more turkish sounding

I know this is not a slavic language, but they have a very similar pronounciaton in my ear. Maybe there’s some influences from south slavic languages

some one reply to me pleaess I understand every word he said I no it's romani but witch kinda romani I'm romani but I'm not sure what language is it and where it really came from

It sounds like a Serbian guy trying to speak Romanian

I am a gypsy from Italy , 50℅ of the words I understand

I only know Kaldarash

It’s like Hindi but instead of English spoken in the middle of a sentence they speak a Slavic language

The numbers sound like Persian

This does not sound like an Indo-Aryan language. It sounds more like a Uralic language like Finnish or Hungarian, or maybe Romanian (which is not a Uralic language).

How much of this would Romani people from Chile understand?

He is Romani from Kosovo he has Albanian dialect

Yeah this is more standardized version, which not everybody will understand its more formal. If anybody wants to hear how we talk to eachother on everyday basis, listen to this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ehbRjNY43DU.html and from 7:57 and on its romanes chib. Its a gypsy pastor preaching in our language, so if anyone wants to hear this language in real everyday action just listen to that.

Though they are Indians how did they INVENT their own Romani language. I mean how's the process got started of new language. It must be definitely study by Researchers.

What dialect Romani dialect does not he speak?

pity this is only one type of romani. god this sounds os good to my ears though. romanichib.

It sounds like Hindi.

doesn't sound like an Indian language at all

Leskire rakirebnaster, me haliyom nabud lava, kay si, sir me ginav, de sare Romane dialecti. Ne vsaek, phares les te poles, pal so yov rakirla. P. S. Me chxinav pu belarusko-litousko rakireben (belarus-lithuanian romani dialect).

It sounds to me like an American who learnt Gujarati is talking to Indian people. I almost mistook this for hindi to be honest.

I speak Hindi and this sounds like a European language. Not at all like Hindi except some words. ‘Panj” means 5 in hindi

It sounds kinda slavic. Is it mutually intelligible with slavic geographically close languages?

His accent sounds very Romanian.

Sa čib ši rakerel? Me rakerav romano vålšenge kåle andrål me šom vålšenge kåle, kek ame aven amåro čib påle thaj 😭. Ava amåro våncen ki rakeren ši

Чем то слова похожи на польские

O' Devel te arakhi e Arljijen ❤ amen sijam Arljije ❤ Inshallah O' Devel te tharel e Gadzen hem e Chibanen ljengre Chavore niked e Devlje te dikhen 🤲🏼

Journalist for 2 years...????I understood right???

I'm 100% romani

The fusion between the slavic and the romance languages.

If you’re a proper gypsy then you can understand every dialect 🙄

It sounds like Russian, Farsi and Italian.

I just want to prove a point to you Indians who always want to take credit for the Romani people which you do not deserve it does not belong to you this man said in Romanus or language of the Roma people he is a father of three he lives in Kosovo for 11 years he owns a factory these are just some of the things he said I am Roma from the United States and I could easily convert with this man in Romanus you Indians always say oh that sounds like Hindi or I almost could understand and you always say Roma left because of Muslim invasion in India which is nothing but a lie perhaps your Muslim Invasion happened but the Roma was not there to flee from it and the so-called gypsies of India are not Roma would specifically means our people I am proud to be Roma you Indian stop trying to take credit for our people we are our own race who can be traced to ancient Israel more than two thousand years ago and I know what I'm talkin about opre Roma

Do not fear me Gypsy all I want is your tears!

You would never think that this is a language of Indian origin, sounds very different

It sounds like Gujarati

sounds like romanian spoken by a serb

Doesn't sound indian at all. Maybe because of his accent but I didn't find any sanskrit words in his speech.

Doesnt sound like an Indian language at all

Me sim AGAINST e standard Romani chib e Courthiadeski! Tu na san Rom, san Gajo!

This is a Romance language no? I hear some Spanish in it.

Where is my wallet?

Sounds like Romanian 😕😕😕😕😮😮😮.

Romani is not a language, is a mess, depending of the country you are from or the country's your family traveled to before, is the type of Romani you talk...... Mess

Мэ сом Рома из России 🇷🇺 И я прекрасно понимаю язык. ❤ АМЕ сам Рома, ❤
