Moe Kitamura, Kamal Kelzi and Yaron Matras are pleased to welcome you to our site on the Dom language, where we document and celebrate a minority language of the Middle East about which little has been known until recently. Dom, or Domari, as it has been called in the linguistic literature, is a Neo-Indic language spoken by populations with a history of peripatetic (itinerant) traditions. Early sources on their language date back more than two hundred years, covering regions from Azerbaijan in the north to Sudan in the south. The first detailed documentation based on the language of the Jerusalem community was published in 1914 by R.S. Macalister, followed by a gap of many until Matras’s work on the speech of the same community appeared in 1999. Around the world we remain a small group of specialists with an interest in the language. But thanks to social media there is no intense communication among Dom people in different regions who have begun to share video and audio clips about their language and traditions. We hope that this forum will provide further information, and we are offering it as a platform for people to post comments, audio and video as well as full-length contributions on Dom language and culture. Please contact us through the Contact page. We look forward to hearing from you!
