message: The Romani language is from a much later time period of India than that of the Domari original source. The Romani language is very much a Rajasthani language that has gone through Panjabi regional changes. The Domari language is from a different origin to Romani and is more Hindi based.
I will give example
         ENGLISH         ROMANI          PANJABI          HINDI          DOMARI
         Brother         Phral / Phal*   Phra / Pha (ji)  Bhai           Bharos 
         Sister          Phen            Phen             Bhen           Bhenos
         Horse           Khuro           Khora            Ghora          Ghoryos
         There           Ote             Ote              Udhar          Hundar
         * The English Roms gave the English the word 'Pal' for friend.
In addition to this Romani uses the Rajasthani / Rajputi mascaline 'o' at the end of words whereas Domari like most other Hindi styled languages use the normal 'a'.
e.g.     
         ENGLISH          ROMANI          RAJASTHANI         
         Uncle            Kako            Kako           (Domari = Mamun)
         Fat man          Thulo           Thelo
         Hot              Tato            Tato
         Infant boy       Tikno           Tingar
         My               Miro            Mero           (Domari = Mura, Hindi = Mera)

thread_title:  Evidence that Dom and Romani people are not related 

message: All the latest research into the Indian origin of the Romani and Domari languages has now proven the two are from completely different Indian regional languages. Romani is mostly Rajasthani with unique words found only in Rajasthani. It also has a few words unique to the Panjabi language. Romani uses Rajasthani grammar such as an 'o' on the end of masculine words unlike Domari which is the an 'a' instead. Most Hindustani languages of India use an 'a' meaning that Rajathani and Romani are unique from the majority. To support the Rajasthani origin of Romani is that the majority of words in Romani are also in Rajasthani. Some words are even unique to Rajasthani.
Information that does need to considered in discussing the languages is the Persian language. The Persian Empire had a significant influence on North West India for various times during Indian history. The Domba /Dom People after leaving India it would appear lived as a part of the Persian empire for many years.
Persian
1   = Yak
2   = Du
3   = Seh
4   = Cahar / Char
5   = Panj
6   = Shesh
7   = Haft
8   = Hasht 
9   = Noh
10  = Dah
100 = Sad 
We should also compare Sanskrit as  Domari, Romani and Lomavren would be from an older India that would have had a much greater Sanskrit influence than modern day languages such as Hindi.
i.e. the Sanskrit for three:
त्रयः, तिस्रः, त्रीणि	trayaH, tisraH, triiNi
The chart alone leads the reader to believe that Romani is very much like Domari yet the Indian origins are not. This draws to a conclusion that Romani and Domari are from a common source.
The spelling of Romani to be the same as Domari yet being different to Hindi is again misleading. Romani often spell their number five as Panj, Panch or Pansh. Infact the English word 'punch' comes from the English Romani word for five.
When studying Romani then Greek should also be considered. It seems that when the Romani left India and hastily arrive in Greek and Armenian speaking Asia Minor (Turkey), they spent a considerable amount of time there before entering into Europe. 
Greek
1   = Hen
2   = Duo
3   = Treis
4   = Tettares
5   = Pente
6   = Hex
7   = Hepta
8   = Okto
9   = Ennea
10  = Deka
100 = Hekaton

thread_title:  Romani shouldn't even be compared to Domari but Persian should be  

message: Check this source information:
"Domari - A language of Iran
Population :1,340,000 in Iran (2000). 
from http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=rmt
Therefore it is clearly that Domari is spoken in Iran.
And Zargari Romani - "spoken in Zargar region (Abyek district) of the Qazvin Province of in Iran. They could be found in Afghanistan and Pakistan as well."

thread_title: Domari - A language of Iran

message: I don't think this article makes much sense. It doesn't make sense to lump all "gypsies" in Western Asia into one category, just because it happens to be like that in Europe. For example, I don't think that "gypsies" in Iran have much to do with the other "gypsies", since they had basically no contact after most wandered westwards. "Gypsies" in Iran are not called Domari or Dom, they are called "Koli".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.233.35.210 (talk) 02:18, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
