لغة الغجر في القدس الشرقية: بين العربية والنورية

R. A. Stewart Macalister (1914) was one of the sources for the language of the Gypsies in the Holy Land, especially in Jerusalem. Since his days, there has been very little research done. Aharon Geva-Kleinberger's study, "The The language of the Gypsies in Eastern Jerusalem: Between Arabic and Nawari" attempts to cast light on the contemporary linguistic situation within the Gypsy community of the city, based on recorded fieldwork and some unpublished material written in the course of years by the Head of the Gypsies in Jerusalem. It seems that in the nearest future, nothing will remain from the Gypsy dialect, which belongs to the Indo-European language group, since the local Arabic dialect of Jerusalem is dominant and the Gypsy youngsters no longer know the Nawari dialect as their mother tongue.
