Diaspora and coexistence of various dialect layers within an area are general features of the Romani dialect situation. Focusing on aspects of interdialect contact, the paper describes the dialect situation of Romani in Czechia and Slovakia. A basic survey is presented of historical, demographic, sociocultural, and linguistic data about different subethnic Rom groups (the Central Roms, the Vlax Roms, and the Sinti) in the two countries. After an analysis of the role of subethnic, kin, and status particularism for linguistic contact, the determinants for various contact strategies (accommodation, bidialectism, common contact language) are identified. The difference between the basically areal patterns of Slovak Central Romani and the prevalently transplanted character of Czech Romani dialects is highlighted, and mixed varieties are briefly discussed. Finally, two types of contact between subethnic dialects with differing consequences for linguistic interference are distinguished
