The Kale [kɑː leɪ] (also Kalé, Kalá, Valshanange; Welsh: Roma yng Nghymru, Sipsiwn Cymreig, Cale) are a Romani subgroup predominantly found in northwestern Wales, specifically in the Welsh-speaking areas.
[6][11] The traditional language was primarily composed of Sanskrit words, but among others also had Iranian, Arabic, Greek, Romanian, German and French influences.
[6] Kalá is a variety of the Romani language closely related to Angloromani, Scottish Cant, Kàlo and Scandoromani.
[13] Another descendant, John Roberts [cy] (1816–1894),[14] earned the sobriquet "Telynor Cymru", and taught his whole family various instruments.
His illustrious career culminated in a performance before Queen Victoria at Palé Hall in Llandderfel near Bala on 24 August 1889, on the occasion of the Royal Visit to Wales.
