LANGUAGE LOSS AND LANGUAGE MAINTENANCE AMONG THE AUSTRIAN ROMA

Dieter W. HALWACHS

Abstract

This study deals with maintenance and loss of Romani, or
romani čhib, according to shifts in the collective repertoire,
attempting to explain these phenomena from the socio-
-historical situation of each individual Austrian Roma group.
In the process, the question of whether Romani is consciously
perceived as a factor of identity by the various groups will be
of importance.
