"This dictionary is very useful to anyone who wants to learn the Gurbet language. Gurbetski is a very important dialect spoken among many Roma in Serbia and Bosnia and elsewhere in Europe. Goran Saitović prepared this manual and I am glad that we now have such a useful book." - Dr. Todd Price

"Language brings identity to people, shows the tradition and sphere of people's lives. If language is lost, culture is lost.

"'If we lose the language and later only speak German, French, English and Chinese, then this world is one part poorer.' says Davyth Hicks as editor of Eurolang, from a news agency for small European languages. An important and good step was made by writing a Romani - Serbian - English dictionary. This step is very important in the use of the Romani language, as a mother tongue but also as a foreign language. I hope to take more steps so that language and culture can develop even more." - Dr. Reinhold Harms
