Lowlands-L List <<a href="mailto:lowlands.list@GMAIL.COM">lowlands.list@GMAIL.COM</a>> (ie. Reinhard/Ron) writes<br>
<br>
Furthermore on the top of my extensive wish list are versions in the following
outside the Lowlands:<br>
...<br>
<br>
Friulan<br>
<br>
I know the Friulan author Paulo Peron - if someone could write about the
project (in Italian), I will forward this on.<br>
<br>
Romany<br>
<br>
Do you mean the language spoken by Gypsies in England? Or the language
spoken by continental Roma? And there is Calo in Spain.<br>
<br>
There is also the language of Travellers-of-Irish-descent (Shelta, Gammen,
Sheldru, Pavee, Caintíotar or Cant).<br>
<br>
Anyway .... I know some Gypsies, and some Irish Travellers, so if either
languages are of interest, let me know, and I will pass on the request.<br>
<br>
Anyone wanting to listen to Gypsies and Travellers speaking English can tune in
to Rokker Radio ("talk radio") online:<br>

Cheers, or, as my Friulan friends say, Mandi!<br>

Thanks, Pat, as always.<br>
<br>
All ethno-specific South-Asian-derived language varieties of the Roma ("Gypsies")
are "Romany" (including Romany Jib of Britain, Kalo (Caló) and Sinti).</span></p>

this presentation celebrates language diversity in general, and it turns out

If I drafted it, would someone correct my Italian?
(Yes, just write to me privately. I won't mention you by name if you don't want
me to.)<br>
