I recently learned that the Romani language (spoken by a group of formerly nomadic Indians in Eastern Europe) is actually very similar to Punjabi, having only split off 1000-1500 years ago. Just as a thought experiment, I’d like to know how much of the Romani language native Punjabi speakers can understand. I would do it myself, but as a non native Punjabi speaker, i guess im not the best one to judge (sometimes i can barely tell if im listening to Hindi, or Punjabi)

If anyone would like to give it a listen or have experience with the Romani language Id love to hear your opinion on the matter!
