Everyone knows that the only official language in Germany is German, there are four other minority languages recognized.
These are Danish, Lusatian Serbs, Frisian and German Sinti and Roma
All of you communities have a rich history and culture that is largely preserved through their language.
Most Sinti and Roma in Germany migrated from southeastern Europe in the late 19th century but also as a guest worker program in the 60s and 70s.
Almost all Roma speak two languages, except their mother tongue, and the language of the country where they live.
There are many Roma who have lost touch with the modern Romani language due to assimilation.
There are still attempts to codify the Romani language.
