Explanation

In the Romany language there are lots of words missing, either because they havent beenmade or because the original words have been forgotten. In regards to words related toeducation; in the Romany culture education isnt highly valued therefore lots of words are non-existent. Therefore they simply use the vocabulary of the country they are living in i.e. Slovakia.

In most instances they loan the word and change/evolve it making it fit into their Romanylanguage e.g. Sveder (Slovak for Jumper) becomes Svederis and l (Scarf) becomeslos. I have given indicated in this document which words are Slovakian and which areRomany; although most of the Romany words are original some are of Slovakian origin.

SK = Slovakian (Possibly slightly changed) RM = Original Romany (Possibly some words takenfrom Slovakian, but have being changed so much and are now unrecognisable to nativeSlovakians. A few of the words are different in other Slovakian-Romany dialects.)

Pronounciation

The pronounciations of the slavic letters (E.g. , , etc) are the same as in Slovakian, butare also a few addtions to the alphabet:Kh is pronounced as a K with a very slight h after it (almost like a short breath of air) as isPh (Ph is not like in English making an F sound), Th and h (but is like the EnglishCh then it is followed with a very slight h).
