Romani languages are the languages spoken by the Roma people, commonly called Gypsies. The language is often called Romanes.
The first Gospel to be translated into a Romani language was the Gospel of Luke[1] into the Caló language, spoken in Spain and Portugal. It was translated by George Borrow. This was printed by the British and Foreign Bible Society in 1837 and a revision was printed in 1872.
