Dialects of Romaní
- ArliUna variedad romaní balcánica ampliamente hablada en Macedonia del Norte, Kosovo, el sur de Serbia y Bulgaria.
- CalóIberian Romani · Zincaló · Caló RomaniThe Iberian para-Romani variety spoken by the Calé (Gitanos) of Spain and, in related forms, Portugal and southern France. A Romani-derived lexicon is embedded in a Castilian (or Catalan/Portuguese) grammatical frame; the older inflected Iberian Romani is no longer spoken. Caló vocabulary has left a marked imprint on Andalusian Spanish and flamenco.

- Finnish KaloKaale · Finnish Kaale · Fíntiko RómmaA Northern Romani variety spoken by the Finnish Kale in Finland and, through twentieth-century migration, in Sweden. It shows heavy structural and phonological influence from Finnish, including consonant gradation, and is one of the most distinctive Northern Romani dialects. Intergenerational transmission has weakened markedly.

Diaspora communities exist in North America and Australia.
- Ruska RomaRussian Romani · North Russian Romani · Xaladitka RomaA Northern Romani variety spoken by the Ruska Roma across Russia and Ukraine, shaped by long and intensive contact with Russian. It was the basis of a short-lived literary standard developed in the Soviet Union in the 1920s and 1930s and remains one of the more vital Northern Romani dialects.
- ScandoromaniTavringer Romani · Traveller Romani · RommaniA para-Romani variety spoken by Traveller communities in Sweden and Norway, combining a Romani-derived lexicon with a Scandinavian grammatical frame. It descends from the speech of Romani groups present in the region since the sixteenth century and survives today largely as an in-group vocabulary register.

It is grouped with the Balkan dialects rather than the surrounding Vlax varieties and shows substantial Romanian contact influence.
- Welsh RomaniKååle · Welsh KaleThe inflected Northern Romani variety historically spoken by the Kååle of Wales. It was extensively documented by John Sampson in the early twentieth century and is now extinct as a first language, the last fluent speakers having died in the mid-twentieth century. It is notable as the last conservatively inflected Romani dialect attested in Britain.

Según la tradición, la comunidad fue asentada en la época safávida y constituye una de las poblaciones de habla romaní documentadas más orientales; el dialecto conserva un núcleo léxico romaní pero muestra una fuerte influencia de contacto del persa y del turco azerí en fonología, vocabulario y gramática. El número de hablantes es pequeño y la transmisión intergeneracional se ha debilitado notablemente.
