THOSE DIALECTS ARE ONLY ON MY RECORDINGS | Zuzana Bodnárová - Conversations with Romani linguists #1

Conversations with Romani linguists is a series of interviews where we talk to linguists working on the Romani language.

We are eager to know how they became interested in specialized research on the Romani language, what challenges they faced on their professional path, and what fascinating stories and discoveries they had working on the Romani language.

Zuzana Bodnárová is a Ph.D., Romani language specialist, researcher at the Plurilingualism Research Unit of the University of Graz, Austria. She is a co-founder of the VakerMore project.

We call it salvage ethnography. I don't speak Romani but I'm glad someone's preserving it. It's amazing how talented central Europeans are compared to us monolingual Americans.
