  • International Romani Day (8 April)

    From Ross Clark@21:1/5 to All on Mon Apr 8 22:00:49 2024
    Yes! The presenter on RNZ Concert FM mentioned it this morning, and then
    played Monti's _Csárdás_. I'm not sure that strictly qualifies, but I
    was glad to hear about the day.

    "In Europe there could be as many as 5 million speakers, making it the
    most widely used minority language on the continent..." (Crystal)

    Crystal recommends a document called "What Is The Romani Language?",
    from the Centre de recherches tsiganes at the Université René Descartes
    and the University of Hertfordshire. I don't think I managed to find
    that online, but the Council of Europe has a lot of information here:
