Romani dialects are the various forms of the Romani language, spoken by the Romani people, a traditionally nomadic ethnic group. These dialects have developed over centuries, influenced by the languages of the countries where Romani communities reside, such as Hungarian, Romanian, and Slovak.
There are several main dialect groups, including Vlax, Balkan, and Sinte, each with unique characteristics. Despite their differences, all Romani dialects share a common origin in the Indic languages of northern India, where the Romani people are believed to have originated before migrating to Europe.
