Google Translate Romanes

Roma Foundation — Mon, 01 Jul 2024 11:51:23 +0000

Nice to see that google translate allows for translations in Romanes. It definitively has a bias towards Vlach Romanes, which is not the most common Romanes, but this is a good start! The choices of words on World, to think, and a few others show this bias, but on the other hand, they still use the old Romanes for “life”, which is not Vlach.

Wonder how this was compiled…

A reportage on Sulukule, one of the oldest Roma neighbourhood in Istanbul, unfortunately, a neighbourhood which has been dismantled by Erdogan to make room for housing for housing of his supporters.

Turkey and Roma

Roma Foundation — Sat, 28 May 2022 08:11:19 +0000

The Turkish government is planning an action plan on Roma in the country. It is a bit of a joke to speak about housing after the ruling party and Mr. Erdogan expelled the Roma from Istanbul oldest Roma neighbourhood to make space for his supporters, ending a millennium of Roma presence there.

Cousins and Refugees

RF — Fri, 07 Dec 2018 10:51:52 +0000

The Domari from Syria, distant cousins of the Roma (they are the branch who never crossed into Europe in the original migration), are in a very difficult situation. A report worth reading.
