Again, bored at work, compiled a fairly short Romany Lexicon for Smugglers to use.

I separated the really Important stuff (I, me, the, etc) into a separate section.

• I - me What - so The - E



• me - manWho - koAnd - a



• my - mireWhere - kajIs - hi



• you - tu Which - savo Was - hin



• he - lesti Why-soske Will be - hun



• she - yoi Because - sostarare - si



• they - lediHow- sar it is - nos

• Yes - Hai Go - Za Greeting - Sastimos



• no - Kek Name - Nav cheer up! - manch



• not - Kekka What are you doing? - Sokeres?

Now the Vocabulary list

1. Bob - money



2. C'or - to steal



3. C'oribe - theft



4. C'oro- thief



5. Dhon - very much

If there's any corrections to be made I'll figure that out later. There's also a few phrases that are just fantabulously Smugglery (including the Gypsy version of "Stolen Beer tastes better")

Where are you getting the word for this? I saw the language type but is there a website for this to check words out?

I would really like to develop a language we can use between smugglers on all servers...I can just imagine folks total bewilderment at trying to figure out what we are saying.

there's a few websites, but they all use different spellings, and on occasion, different dialects (there are plenty of dialects)

This list is like, a mix of the different dialects, as a standard list for us to use.

Can we possibly get this stickied then so we can develop it as time goes on and not lose it to the abyss of pages 3 to 534,298,560?

nono.

don't sticky it... it's not for outsiders to see - just bookmark the thread

Also we may need to post all the updates on the original post so we won't have to scroll through tons of pages to get it all.

Just use thread options and select float to top (in addition to bookmarking it). It'll appear as a sticky.
