Domari is an Indo-Aryan language that is now highly endangered. Its speakers were traditionally nomadic metalworkers and musicians who lived in tiny, geographically scattered and socially isolated communities throughout the Middle East. The grammar is based on conversational material recorded in Jerusalem in the mid-1990s with some of the last speakers of this particular variety.

Review
“[…] the book is written in a clear and rich style which makes it easy to read. It will benefit everyone interested in language contact, Indo-Aryan languages, including students of Romani, and other ‘Gypsy’ languages. Also valuable to the field of grammaticography is the author’s efforts to put pragmatics at the centre of linguistic description.” Bruno Hérin in: Linguist List 24.1141
