Summary/Abstract: In this article, I analyzed the implementation of the Romany languagefor the period 1990-2011 - from the perspective of the European Charter for Regional orMinority Languages - in other words, I checked the extent to which various institutions andhuman resources in Romania contributed to the preservation and cultivation of the Romanilanguage, how close or how far the cultural, educational, linguistic, legal, etc., products are,or how far apart the efforts for preservation and cultivation of this language efforts are to theaims instilled by the aforementioned European document. However, it has to be noted that aunique experience dedicated to preserving and cultivating the Romani language in theeducation system is recorded in Romania, starting with the year 1990, immediately after thecollapse of the communist regime. But, compared to the rich and valuable arsenal of resultsfrom the linguistic and educational field, the contribution of the other sectors withattributions in preserving and cultivating the Romani language has been little and unevenlysupported, still represented by little evidence, as well as timid and fragile, visible as far asartisan goes, incoherent and confusing. However, the analysis leads us to recommend thatthe linguistic- educational Roma experiment from Romania be taken as fast as possible as amodel, to be developed and ennobled with new approaches in the realm of preservation andcultivation of the Romani language in all spheres of social life, both in Romania and in allthe other countries where Roma live.
