Finnish Romani language

The majority of speakers are from older generations and about two-thirds of the Romani in Finland still speak the language.

Dictionaries and grammar books have been produced and some universities offer Kalo as a course.

This may be related to the fact that both Finnish and Hungarian words have fixed word-initial stress, a feature that would have diffused to the Romani languages.

It is now uncommon for Kalo speakers to pass the language to children although there have been efforts made to revive it in recent years.

In Finland, the municipalities can establish Romani courses if there is enough demand, though there have been problems due to a lack of resources.
