Romani
Romani (Romany, Gypsy).  Of all the languages included in this page of greetings, this may be the most difficult to characterize and describe in a few words.  This is an Indo-European language (closely related to Sanskrit) with literally hundreds of dialects that has been spoken for many centuries by the Rom people which we generally call gypsies.  

The people, and the language, started in Central Europe and there are still 500,000 first language speakers in Romania.  For that reason, it is the only flag and map shown.  However, if done correctly, we would include scores of flags and maps.  The Romany people have spread and wandered throughout Europe and the Americas.  As they moved, more terms and words were acquired and dialects developed.  How interesting it would be to dedicate a site to the people, their culture and language(s).
