(Title in Roma language: Jekh propozala vas-e rromane chibaqero lekhavipen (likhavipen e Sulejowaqero). The Romani language is being transcribed in various alphabets, including Polish. However, lack of knowledge of the language structure and especially its grammar results in attempts flawed with very arbitrary form, orthographic errors, polonised transcription and misinterpretation of phonetics. The educational authorities have founded a committee which proposed a variant of transcription based on Polish alphabet, simplified in comparison to the ones used in standardised transcription. Its working name is sulejowska transcription (pisownia sulejowska) - after the place where the committee's proceedings were held (Sulejowek, close to Warsaw).
