  • The State of Present-Day Domari in Jerusalem
    Offprint from Mediterranean Language Review 11 (1999), Pp. 1-58 YARON MATRAS University of Manchester THE STATE OF PRESENT-DAY DOMARI IN JERUSALEM 1. INTRODUCTION Domari is an endangered Indic language spoken in a socially isolated and marginalised community of formerly itinerant metalworkers and entertainers in the Old City of Jerusalem. Speakers refer to themselves in their language as dōm (singular & collective) or dōme (plural). The term náwar (‘Gypsies’) is adopted quite freely in Arabic conversation, although it is disliked due to its derogratory connotations. Domari is part of the phenomenon of Indic diaspora languages spoken by what appear to be descendants of itinerant castes of artisans and entertainers who are spread throughout Central Asia, the Near East, and Europe. They include rather loosely related languages such as Dumaki (Hunza valley in northern Pakistan; Lorimer 1939), Parya (Tajikistan; Oranskij 1977, Payne 1997), Lomavren (Indic vocabulary in an Armenian grammatical framework; Finck 1907, Patkannoff 1907/1908), Inku (Afghanistan; Rao 1995), and Romani (primarily Europe and Asia Minor), the latter being by far the most widely documented and the most thoroughly described. Apart from Jerusalem and the West Bank, Domari-speaking communities are known to exist today in Gaza, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. Here too, the language is reported to be in rapid decline and is apparently in active use only among the older generation. Remnants of closely related idioms survive in secret lexicons employed by itinerant communities elsewhere in the Near East; such contemporary usage of Domari-based lexicon has been documented for the Kurdish-speaking Mıtrıp or Karaçi commercial nomads of eastern Anatolia (Benninghaus 1991) as well as for the Luri speech of the Luti people of Luristan (Amanolahi & Norbeck 1975).

  • On Romani Origins and Identity
    ON ROMANI ORIGINS AND IDENTITY Ian Hancock The Romani Archives and Documentation Center The University of Texas at Austin 1 “A geneticist’s summary of [our] data would describe the Gypsies as a conglomerate of Asian populations . unambiguous proof of the Indian ancestry of the Gypsies comes from three genetic marker systems . found on the same ancestral chromosomal background in Gypsy, Indian and Pakistani subjects. While confirming the centuries-old linguistic theory of the Indian origins is no great triumph for modern genetic research, the major, unexpected and most significant result of these studies is the strong evidence of the common descent of all Gypsies regardless of declared group identity, country of residence and rules of endogamy . The Gypsy group was born in Europe. All marker systems suggest that the earliest splits occurred 20 to 24 generations ago, i.e . from the late 13 th century onwards” (Kalaydjieva et al ., 2005:1085-6). 2 hose of you familiar with my work know that it has taken a circuitous route over the years T in an ongoing effort to refine it, and no doubt it will be modified further as it continues. Thus in my earliest writing I supported a fifth-century exodus from India and accepted the established three-way Rom-Dom-Lom split; I no longer do. I argued for a wholly non-“Aryan” ancestry, but no longer believe this to have been the case nor, indeed, that “Aryan” is even a genetically relevant label. I saw the migration from India to Anatolia as having been a slow one, consisting of a succession of military encounters with different non-Indian populations; I no longer think that it happened in that way.

  • Jerusalem Domari Yaron Matras University of Manchester
    Chapter 23 Jerusalem Domari Yaron Matras University of Manchester Jerusalem Domari is the only variety of Domari for which there is comprehensive documentation. The language shows massive influence of Arabic in different areas of structure – quite possibly the most extensive structural impact of Arabic on any other language documented to date. Arabic influence on Jerusalem Domari raises theoretical questions around key concepts of contact-induced change as well as the relations between systems of grammar and the components of multilingual repertoires; these are dealt with briefly in the chapter, along with the notions of fusion, compartmentalisation of paradigms, and bilingual suppletion. 1 Historical development and current state Domari is a dispersed, non-territorial minority language of Indo-Aryan origin that is spoken by traditionally itinerant (peripatetic) populations throughout the Middle East. Fragmented attestations of the language place it as far north as Azer- baijan and as far south as Sudan. The self-appellation dōm is cognate with those of the řom (Roma or Romanies) of Europe and the lom of the Caucasus and eastern Anatolia. All three populations show linguistic resources of Indo-Aryan origin (which in the case of the Lom are limited to vocabulary), as well as traditions of a mobile service economy, and are therefore all believed to have descended from itinerant service castes in India known as ḍom. Some Domari-speaking popula- tions are reported to use additional names, including qurbāṭi (Syria and Lebanon), mıtrıp or karači (Turkey and northern Iraq) and bahlawān (Sudan), while the surrounding Arabic-speaking populations usually refer to them as nawar, ɣaǧar or miṭribiyya.

  • Northern Domari Bruno Herin Inalco, IUF
    Chapter 22 Northern Domari Bruno Herin Inalco, IUF This chapter provides an overview of the linguistic outcomes of contact between Arabic and Northern Domari. Northern Domari is a group of dialects spoken in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey. It remained until very recently largely un- explored. This article presents unpublished first-hand linguistic data collected in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Turkey. It focuses on the Beirut/Damascus variety, with references to the dialects spoken in northern Syria and southern Turkey. 1 Current state and historical development Domari is an Indic language spoken by the Doms in various countries of the Middle East. The Doms are historically itinerant communities who specialize in service economies. This occupational profile led the lay public to call them the Middle Eastern Gypsies. Common occupations are informal dentistry, metal- work, instrument crafting, entertainment and begging. Most claim Sunni Islam as their religion, with various degrees of syncretic practices. Although most have given up their semi-nomadic lifestyle and settled in the periphery of urban cen- tres, mobility is still a salient element in the daily lives of many Doms. The ethnonym Dom is mostly unknown to non-Doms, who refer to them with various appellations such as nawar, qurbāṭ or qarač. The Standard Arabic word ɣaǧar for ‘Gypsy’ is variably accepted by the Doms, who mostly understand with this term European Gypsies. All these appellations are exonyms and the only endonym found across all communities is dōm. Only the Gypsies of Egypt, it seems, use a reflex of ɣaǧar to refer to themselves. From the nineteenth century onwards, European travellers reported the exis- tence of Domari in the shape of word lists collected in the Caucasus, Iran, Iraq and the Levant (see Herin 2012 for a discussion of these sources).
