rajputs not rajasthanis right p prof hancock's studies mention that the romani people are most closely related to the punjabis and rajputs i'm pretty sure not rajasthanis he calls proto romani rajputic the distinction is important if they are partly descended from rajputs who were never really confined to any one part of india that would explain the linguistic variation within the indic words in romani for example why the use of o instead of aa at the end of masculine nouns adjectives in romani this is certainly a characteristic of gujarati and sindhi but is it a characteristic of rajasthani languages anyway if i'm wrong in making the last change i made as of now i'll be happy to revert it myself oh of course
