Oh, yes! I _love_ Old English! It's my first language love and shall be my
last (sod German and French)
> 4. Romani. (?) It's obscure and dying and spoken by vagabonds and
wanderers. What more could you want?
Again, oh yes! I'm trying to learn it, but I cant find any courses or even
online grammars. According to my grandmother, there is some Romany in the
family- my great-grandmother's mother married a Gadje. Speaking of Gadje:
Mashkar le gadjende leski shib si le Romeski zor. Out of interest, my
signature is in Romany.
