Very Late Breaking News but still, in my personal memory, these are headlines (the reason for this blog is to obtain a memory of itself studying whatever matters come consistently or cyclically into it's mind) -- a lot of links here but if you scan you can be taken on a trip...

this needs some vetting but it's bold enough to be classified something like journalism

Risky humanitarian situation for Ukraine's Roma According to United Nations (UN) Refugee Agency (UNHCR) estimates, as of 10 May 2022 more than 5.9 million people, amongst whom Roma, had fled Ukraine to neighbouring countries – mainly to Poland but also to Hungary, Moldova, Romania and Slovakia. Even before the start of the invasion, Ukraine's Roma population was already considered the country's most vulnerable minority group, and one which also faced
a high level of discrimination. Since the beginning of the conflict, the Council of Europe (CoE) has reported discriminatory treatments against Roma when fleeing Ukraine. According to civil society organisations and the media, Ukrainian Roma
have been facing increasing difficulties along the evacuation route, at border crossing points and on arrival in Europe. Not only have they had to cope with racial discrimination and segregation in transportation, humanitarian assistance and accommodation, but also with food and water deprivation and terrible living, conditions as a result of this treatment. Moreover, around 10-20 % of the estimated 400 000 Roma living in
Ukraine lack the documents they need to acquire or attest their Ukrainian citizenship and to prove their residence status (around 30,000 Ukrainian Roma have no form of ID). Civil society organisations have voiced concerns that this could result in additional difficulties for Roma fleeing the war. Media reports confirm the above situation, saying that Roma are often denied access to neighbouring countries because they lack the documents to prove their residence status. While the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) has not
observed incidents of discrimination or racism during its field visits, it is calling for vigilance.

The future of the Romani language
https://www.lingoblog.dk/en/the-future-of-romani-language/
"Romani is listed in the UNESCO’s Red Book of Endangered Languages. There are 12 to 14 million Roma worldwide, only approximately four million are speakers of Romani nowadays. Over the years, there have been repeated attempts to standardize Romani. In the past 50 to 60 years, it was mostly linguists who were involved in the process of standardization, but in just the last 20 years, Roma activists, mainly speakers of a particular dialect, have begun participating in the process as well. The discussion among Roma activists centers around which dialect is better or more correct without understanding that there are no “bad” or “good” dialects. Very often the standardization of Romani in many countries is left in the hands of Roma activists who actually have no formal linguistic background. This is one of the main reasons why the process of Romani standardization hasn’t advanced further."
