Povijest romskoga jezika i suvremeni ustroj.

Katarina Katavić's book, "Povijest romskoga jezika i suvremeni ustroj" (History and Contemporary Structure of the Romani Language), offers a comprehensive historical grammar of the Romani language and its dialects. It combines information from various sources and introduces a new systematization and terminology for describing the structure of the language. The book covers phonetics, morphology, syntax, and lexicon, and includes original observations and interpretations. Although written in Croatian, it is a valuable contribution to Romani studies and would benefit from being translated into a more widely accessible language in the future. This report by Ivan Andrijanić highlights the book's innovative synthesis of Romani's historical grammar, along with a practical descriptive grammar. It would be of interest to library patrons researching the Romani language and its historical grammar. [Extracted from the article]
