Gypsy - Hungarian New Testament / Cigany - Magyar Ujszovetseg / Suntoiskiripe Nyevo Teshtamento
Romani is the language spoken by the Roma people, commonly called Gypsies / they speaks Gypsy or Lovari. The New Testament has been translated into Romani by Vesho-Frakas Zoltan.
Translator Zoltan Farkas Vesho said he had aimed to use a "pure" form of
Lovari, avoiding words borrowed from Hungarian, or any other language, so
as to give the text the widest possible currency among Roma in the region.
A Roma teacher, Agnes Jovanovics, said the fact that the Bible was now
available in Lovari meant a great deal to the Roma community.
"I think the fact that it is written in one's mother tongue raises its value."
