> You do know that the Roma are not Roman or Romance in any way, right? Yup; Romani is originally a sankrit-derived language that is close to punjabi and has alot of European borrow-words from their travelling. As I stated before, I wanted to clreate such a fusion with a mixed of Romance grammar and words, plus a "Romanised" version of Romani words. Think Romanian; the fusion between Slavic and Latin is quite appealing. (When I heard it, I thout it was a very pretty slavic language, but I didn't find out it was a Romance language until a few months ago.) Of course, with my unexpertise, the grammar with be quite easy, in similarities with the Spanish verb, with some Italian feel. The S and the zh sound is remotely from Portuguese and French, and the goal of the language was to achieve foreign beauty. I'm still debating whether to add in noun declensions as both Romani and Latin possessed, or drop it since most of the Romance languages had.
