	The Language of the Roma
		The Romani language, even though it is now comprised of a number of different dialects, belongs to the family of Indo-European languages in a group that includes other languages of Indian origin, such as Hindi and Bengali.
		Due to the diaspora of individual groups of Roma, there are a number of main dialects of the Romani language, although Roma from different parts of the world are able to understand one another.
		This vocabulary is unstable and is often replaced by words from a new contact language, in the case of Slovak Roma living in the Czech Republic, from the Czech language.

		Roma were widely believed to have psychic powers (see the popular stereotype of the Gypsy fortune-teller), and some romantics attribute the invention of the Tarot cards to them.
		Analysis of the Romany language has shown that it is related to those spoken in northern India and Pakistan, such as Hindi and Punjabi, which is believed to indicate their true geographical origin.
		Most Roma abandoned their nomadic way of life long ago, and a good representation of way of life of Balkan Roma today can be seen in movies by the famous Serbian director Emir Kusturica.

		This is regarded as strong evidence for locating the geographical origin of the Roma, particularly in light of the fact that loanwords in Romany make it possible to trace the pattern of their migration west.
		Nevertheless, the Roma most visible to the rest of the community are those few that for various reasons still live in shacks (usually built ad hoc, near railroads) and beg on the streets, perpetuating the bad image of Roma overall.
		Most Roma abandoned their nomadic way of life long ago, and a good representation of way of life of Balkan Roma today can be seen in the films of the famous Bosnian director Emir Kusturica.

	The Patrin Web Journal - A Brief History of the Roma (Gypsies)
		The Roma are a distinct ethnic minority, distinguished at least by Rom blood and the Romani, or Romanes, language, whose origins began on the Indian subcontinent over one thousand years ago.
		In Europe, Roma were either kept in slavery in the Balkans (in territory that is today Romania), or else were able to move on and up into the rest of the continent, reaching every northern and western country by about 1500.
		Discrimination against Roma in employment, education, health care, administrative and other services is observed in most societies, and hate speech against them deepens the negative anti-Roma stereotypes which are typical of European public opinion.

	Roma in Serbia: Introducing Romany Language and Culture into Primary Schools - printer friendly (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Roma communities throughout Europe suffer systematic racial discrimination.1 Their language and culture has been marginalized, with schooling that is insensitive to the best interests of the child, hostile to the Roma language and culture, and with Roma children facing prejudice from classmates and teachers.
		Current research on linguistics shows that when a child's first language is valued and recognized, their ability to learn a second language is enhanced.11 Often Roma children are caught in a vicious circle; schools fail to support the language they use at home and their skills in this language are poor.
		A better option is education in the dominant language, with some education in the first language and on Roma culture.

		The Romany language spoken in Slovakia consists of three dialects: Slovak Romany, spoken in eastern Slovakia; Hungarian Romany spoken in the south and southwest of Slovakia; and the Olah or Wallachian dialect, which shares some mutual elements with Balkan Romany.
		Approximately 80 percent of Roma in Slovakia speak the eastern Slovak Romany dialect and that is the one that will be taught in the high schools.
		But most Roma children encounter problems at the beginning of their schooling, which often results in them dropping out of school at a young age.

		Roma are so fabulously over-represented in such schools that many suspect that, as before, the Romani ethnicity is viewed by schooling authorities as synonymous with social and educational disability.
		For Roma, there is a continuum between being recommended for testing, being deemed "borderline" and therefore in need of a diagnostic stay in a special school, and completing one's education in such a school.
		Finally, Roma throughout Eastern and southern Europe are also denied education due to the high costs of schooling supplies and an unwillingness among Roma to send their children to school in the shabby clothes of poverty.

	Discussions - Mr. Polansky's presentation
		He seems to set the Roma apart from the rest of the world as the most intelligent, kind, interesting people, and he seems to forget to address the high levels of crime in their society.
		I was impressed by the various facts, such as that the naming Domes is a synonym to Romas, that the most sacred “thing” to the Romas is the sun, for which they have, over time, formulated various proverbs; that the biggest sin a Roma could ever commit would be killing a snake, and so on.
		It is awesome that he is writing books about the Roma, because they are definitely and issue that should be talked about so that their problems in society and the way society views them will finally be resolved.

	Slovakia - Advisory Committee on the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities
		In the discussion on the use of minority languages, the Committee noted the government's increasing support for the electronic and print media of national minorities as well as the minority-language programmes on public television and radio, although relatively little broadcasting time is devoted to radio programmes in the Roma language.
		The Committee noted that there are legislative provisions aimed at protecting the right of members of national minorities to use their first names in their language and to have it recognised; however, there have been reports that the Slovak form of a surname is still imposed in some instances on women belonging to national minorities.
		On the other hand, the shortcomings that remain in the effective participation of the Roma in social and economic life have an negative impact on their social and economic living conditions, especially in the case of women.
