"Romani or Romany, Gypsy or Gipsy (native name: rromani ćhib) is the language of the Romani people. It is an Indo-Aryan language, sometimes included in either the "Central" or the "Northwestern" group, sometimes treated as a branch of its own. Romani is a macrolanguage in the ISO 639 classification, taken to consist of seven sub-languages or major dialects. The largest dialect is Vlax Romani with close to 1.5 million speakers, followed by the Balkan, Carpathian and Sinte variants with a few hundred thousand speakers each." "Today's dialects of Romani are differentiated by the vocabulary accumulated since their departure from Anatolia, as well as through divergent phonemic evolution and grammatical features. Many Romanies no longer speak the language or speak various new contact languages from the local language with the addition of Romani vocabulary. A long-standing common categorisation was a division between the Vlax (from Vlach) from non-Vlax dialects. Vlax are those Romanies who lived many centuries in the territory of Romania in slavery. The main distinction between the two groups is the degree to which their vocabulary is borrowed from Romanian. Vlax-speaking groups account for the greatest number of speakers (between half and two-thirds[citation needed] of all Romani speakers). Bernard Gilliath-Smith first made this distinction, and coined the term Vlax in 1915 in the book The Report on the Gypsy tribes of North East Bulgaria. There is also a number of languages, in which Romani is divided: Balkan Romani Romani of Wales Romani of Finland Sinte North Central Romani Baltic Romani" "Some Romanies have developed creole languages or mixed languages, including: Caló or Iberian-Romani, which uses the Romani lexicon and Spanish grammar. Romungro or Hungarian-Romani Luso-Romani of mainland Portugal Erromintxela (Basque-Romani) (Romani lexicon with Basque syntax and morphology) Lomavren or Armenian-Romani Angloromani or English-Romani Scandoromani (Norwegian-Traveller Romani or Swedish-Traveller Romani) Romano-Greek or Greek-Romani Romano-Serbian or Serbian-Romani Boyash, a dialect of Romanian with Hungarian and Romani loanwords Sinti-Manouche-Sinti (Romani with German grammar)" "Some words and phrases Sastipe Hello.

I am afraid that if you want to do more than learn ABOUT Rromanes (one of the words for the language), such as learn it, you are pretty out of luck. You might learn a few words but the language has not been put down in a written form from which to learn and it is sparingly taught. A lot of us have lost the tongue or only speak a few words, especially in America. If you would like some places to start looking and learning about your heritage (I checked your profile), email me and I shall try. --------edit I forgot to points you so I did a bit after I answered.

Sorry I can't be of more help, but I figured Aris could help. He's a good guy. And he has extensively researched his heritage. You've been positrolled, by the way.
