Romany can with the methods of comparative philology
be shown to be a group of Indo-Aryan languages spoken
in the Middle East, Europe since the late Middle Ages,
and later also carried to the Americas.  Not surprisingly
they can be shown to be most closely related to Kashmiri
and Punjabi, which are spoken in the North-West of the
Indian peninsula.
