Baltic Romani
There are three simple stop positions in the Romani language. These come from the Indo-Aryan and are maintained in every dialect of this language. The positions are as follows; labial /p/, dental /t/, and velar /k/. Along with these stop positions, there are also palatal positions which are unique to the Romani language. Specific voicing alterations have changed grammatical endings and different dialects have different ways of interpreting vowels. Some have morphed into newer versions of the Romani language and others have implemented other elements like screams.
Romance languages
Romance languages have borrowed heavily, though mostly from other Romance languages. However, some, such as Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian, and French, have borrowed heavily from other language groups. Vulgar Latin borrowed first from indigenous languages of the Roman empire, and during the Germanic folk movements, from Germanic languages, especially Gothic; for Eastern Romance languages, during Bulgarian Empires, from Slavic languages, especially Bulgarian. Notable examples are *"blancus" "white", replacing native "albus" (but Romansh "alv", Dalmatian "jualb", Romanian "alb"); *"guerra" "war", replacing native "bellum"; and the words for the cardinal directions, where cognates of English "north", "south", "east" and "west" replaced the native words "septentriō", "merīdiēs" (also "noon; midday nap"; cf. Romanian "meriză"), "oriens", and "occidens". (See History of French – The Franks.) Some Celtic words were incorporated into the core vocabulary, partly for words with no Latin equivalent ("betulla" "birch", "camisia" "shirt", "cerevisia" "beer"), but in some cases replacing Latin vocabulary ("gladius" "sword", replacing "ensis"; "cambiāre" "to exchange", replacing "mūtāre" except in Romanian and Portuguese; "carrus" "cart", replacing "currus"; "pettia" "piece", largely displacing "pars" (later resurrected) and eliminating "frustum"). Many Greek loans also entered the lexicon, e.g. "spatha" "sword" (Greek: "spáthē", replacing "gladius" which shifted to "iris", cf. French "épée", Spanish "espada", Italian "spada "and Romanian "spată"); "cara" "face" (Greek: κάρα "kára", partly replacing "faciēs"); "colpe" "blow" (Greek: κόλαφος "kólaphos", replacing "ictus", cf. Spanish "golpe", French "coup"); "cata" "each" (Greek: "katá", replacing "quisque"); common suffixes *"-ijāre/-izāre" (Greek: "-izein", French "oyer/-iser", Spanish "-ear/-izar", Italian "-eggiare/-izzare", etc.), "-ista" (Greek: "-istes").
