I am quite sure I saw, a few months back, an internet reference to someone
who was working on a new Romany dictionary. My memory is that it was a UK
university website, and that the project involved PhD research. But, of
course, the details have totally slipped my mind! If I can manage to chase
anything up I'll report in due course, since there seems to be some
interest.
However, my contact, who it turns out is the same as Roger's, may know more,
in addition to being a Romany speaker himself.
