“We don’t know Romani, we speak Hungarian”
This paper is the first attempt to describe the particular way members of the so-called Romungro group in Hungary may speak Hungarian, which we call the ethnolinguistic repertoire of the Romungros (ERR). We have relied on primary and secondary sources, both published and unpublished, and unstructured sociolinguistic interviews in particular, when looking at the speakers, lexicon, use and function of this speech form. ERR is a form of colloquial H…
Gender reduction in contact
The present paper investigates the reduction of gender assignment and agreement in a nineteenth-century Romani variety in contact with genderless Hungarian. This reduction took place within two generations of native speakers. We compare the geographical and sociolinguistic situation with the majority of present-day Romani varieties, which still maintain the original two-way (masculine, feminine) gender system. By comparing these varieties with th…
Development of phonemic length alternation in adjectives and possessive pronouns in South Central Romani
The paper investigates the development of length alternations in adjectives and possessive pronouns in four geographically distant South Central Romani varieties spoken in Hungary. Phonemic length alternation developed in possessive pronouns, inherited Romani adjectives and some adjectives borrowed prior to contact with Hungarian. The distribution of short and long segments is similar in all four varieties, predominantly exhibiting short segments…
Analogical extension of vowel length in Vend Romani
Distinctive vowel length has been only recently re-introduced into the Romani varieties that have been in intimate contact with the various languages of Europe exhibiting vowel quantity. This article describes the process of analogical extension that accounts for certain intra-dialectal variation of vowel length found within the South Central Romani dialect group. The emergence of vowel length by means of this process is demonstrated by the examp…
A comparative study of verbal particles in varieties of Vend Romani
Vend Romani is a Romani dialect spoken in the adjacent regions of Transdanubia (Hungary), Burgenland (Austria) and Prekmurje (Slovenia). Through intensive contact with German and Hungarian, Vend Romani developed the category of verbal particle; these particles are used to derive new verbs or assign certain aktionsarts to verbs. This study focusses on two varieties spoken in Hungary, in the counties of Zala and Somogy, while the varieties of Burge…
Loanword integration
The article discusses a contact-induced change in the original pattern of loanword integration as well as in the original system of inflection of xenoclitic nouns in the Vend Romani dialect subgroup of the South Central dialect group. This innovative noun integration pattern is applied to recently borrowed Hungarian nouns. The article shows that certain inflectional forms of these loanwords, namely the accusative forms, deviate both from the orig…
