Scandoromani
Scandoromani is a Para-Romani dialect spoken by the Romanisael, a subgroup of the Romani people in Norway, and Sweden.
Subforms are referred to as:
- The Norwegian Romani language or Traveller Norwegian, Norwegian: romani or norsk romani, in Norway ;
- The Swedish Romani language or Tavringer Romani, Traveller Swedish or Tattare, Swedish: svensk romani, in Sweden;
- Traveller Danish † in Denmark.
There is no standardised form of Scandoromani, so variations exist in vocabulary, pronunciation, and usage, depending on the speaker. In print, Scandoromani words are often written with Swedish or Norwegian letters and letter combinations to represent Romani sounds, e.g., tj- or kj- to represent the Romani č and čh. Some examples of Scandoromani variant spellings are: tjuro / kjuro 'knife'; gräj / grei 'horse'.
