It is estimated that as many as 40 million citizens of the Union regularly use a regional or minority language that has been passed on from generation to generation, generally in addition to the official language or languages of the state. The customary definition of regional or minority language is that used in the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages , an international treaty supervised by the Council of Europe and adopted by many EU Member States, i.e. languages traditionally used by part of the population of a state that are not dialects of official languages of the state, languages of migrants or artificially created languages. This definition covers a wide variety of languages and an equally wide variety of social, political and linguistic situations. Catalan, for example, is spoken by some 7 million people in Spain, France and the town of Alghero in Sardinia. Most Catalan speakers live in autonomous communities of Spain where it is spoken by the majority of the population and has official status alongside Spanish. Saami, in contrast, is a family of languages spoken by indigenous peoples in northern Finland, Sweden, Norway and the Kola peninsula of Russia, some members of which have only a few hundred speakers and are in imminent danger of extinction.
Romani Dance Article are many misconceptions about romani Dance (and also other indigenous dances romanidance not only represents the romani people, their culture and history, that http://www.romani.org/roma_dance_art.html
Extractions: September, 1999 Note: This is the article as it appeared in Attendance It has been established by many scholars (Rishi, Hancock, Kochanowski, et al) that the Roma left India (our Baro Than, ie our homeland) nearly a thousand years ago. Early in the 11 th century, Muslim invasions into northern India were lead by Mahmed of Ghazni. The warriors assembled to fight these Muslim invasions and their camps gave rise to the modern Roma. They fled north through mountain passes in the upper Indus valley and traveled west along the "silk road", ultimately reaching eastern Europe early in the 14 th century. Most unfortunate is the term "Gypsy" which derives from the mistaken belief that the Roma had come from Egypt (or "little Egypt", the middle east), and the subsequent application of this term to many nomadic groups bearing no relation to the Roma. Thus, not all "Gypsies" are Roma, and not all Roma are nomadic!! There are many ways of communicating, without which there would be no history, literature, science, music, dance, nor art. Many linguists and scholars (Rishi, Hancock, Kochanovsky, et al)

Romani Origins And Romani Identity: minimize, or even contradict, the Indian origins of the romani people 1 . While Gypsieshave in fact crystallized out of the indigenous European populations http://radoc.net:8088/RADOC-9-IDENT-1.htm
Extractions: Romani Origins and Romani Identity: A Reassessment of the Arguments The Romani Archives and Documentation Center http://www.radoc.net The Indian connection has only been posited linguistically and it remains, to say the least, vague (Sandland, 1996:386). The Roma are genetically closer to Asians than to surrounding Europeans. This conclusion can hardly be described as exciting news; it has taken genetics 70 years and several thousand blood samples to confirm what has been known to linguists for the last 200 years A gennelman come ere one day and said as we is all from India, one old Gypsy woman told me. So I says to im, Well, maybe we is, Surr, but it dont make a mighty difference, now, do it, Surr? (Reid, 1964:170). I n recent years , a body of scholarship has emerged which has sought to minimize, or even contradict, the Indian origins of the Romani people While it does not deny them ascription as real ethnic groups, or that for the same reason such groups might deserve protection from abuses of their human and civil rights, the consuming argument is that any alleged Indian connection is vague or even non-existent, that Gypsies have in fact crystallized out of the indigenous European populations, and that their widely-assumed identity is a fabrication which originated with Heinrich Grellmann two centuries ago. This is the polemic which challenges what Lucassen et al.

The Languages Of The Russian Federation Today languages of the larger minority peoples are covered and the situation of the indigenouslanguages of nonterritorial minority languages like romani and Yiddish http://www.helsinki.fi/~tasalmin/rf.html
Extractions: A chapter of the article "Minority languages in a society in turmoil: the case of the northern languages of the Russian Federation" published in Endangered languages: what role for the specialist? Proceedings of the Second FEL Conference (Editor: Nicholar Ostler; Edinburgh 1998) on pp. 5863 Tapani Salminen In what follows, the languages of European Russia and Caucasia are dealt with briefly, and the situation of the indigenous languages of Siberia and Arctic Russia is presented in more detail. The degree of endangerment is evaluated along the scale "not endangered endangered seriously endangered nearly extinct extinct", which broadly corresponds to the basic viability classes in Krauss (1997), who also deals with most though not all of the Siberian languages. The number of minority languages whose principal area has traditionally lain within the borders of the Russian Federation is, according to the present count, 110; this figure does not include the majority language Russian nor non-territorial minority languages like Romani and Yiddish; also excluded are dialects of major languages of neighbouring countries though some of them will be mentioned below. The number of officially recognized minority languages is a bit lower, because in a few cases, notably Altai, Enets, Karelian, Khanty, Mansi, Mari, Nenets, Sámi, Selkup, Tat, Yukagir, and Yupik, idioms traditionally regarded as major dialects are, for compelling reasons, treated here as separate languages.
Extractions: At the Crossroads of Gender and Racial Discrimination The injustices suffered by victims of racial discrimination and related intolerance are well-known: limited employment opportunities; segregation; and endemic poverty are only a few among these. The disadvantages faced by women in societies around the world are also familiar: lower pay for work of equal value; high illiteracy rates; and poor access to health care. While race is one reason for inequality and gender is another, they are not mutually exclusive forms of discrimination. Indeed, too often they intersect, giving rise to compounded or double discrimination. For many women factors relating to their social identity such as race, colour, ethnicity and national origin become "differences that make a difference". These factors can create problems that are unique to particular groups of women or that disproportionately affect some women relative to others. Consider the societal roadblocks experienced by a Roma woman living in Eastern Europe. As a member of the Romani population, she has few advocates and is the target of constant hostility. She is marginalized within her community because of her minority status and within her family because of her gender. The same can be said of an aboriginal woman living in Australia, a Dalit woman living in India, a female asylum seeker living in England and so on. These women live at the crossroads of gender and racial discrimination.
