The book explores the Romany language, also known as the English Gypsy language, providing a detailed vocabulary alongside insights into the culture and customs of the Gypsies in England. It investigates the origins of Gypsy words, their grammatical structures, and how the language has evolved through interaction with other languages and cultures.  The opening of the work begins with a playful exchange that's a sort of poetic introduction to the Romany language, inviting readers to engage with Gypsy culture through questions about language and music. Borrow then delves into the complexities and nuances of the Romany language, speaking to its rich but fragmented state, characterized by words from various languages and dialects. He discusses the origins of the Gypsy tongue, outlining the number of original Romany words in use today and the interesting grammatical features that set it apart from English. The author promises to elaborate on the vocabulary and poetry of the Romany people, emphasizing their unique linguistic heritage and the challenges of preserving their language in a predominantly English-speaking society.
