Sepeči

The Sevlengere, also known as Sevlengere Roma or Sepečides Roma (lit.'basket-weaving Roma'),[1] are a Romani subgroup in Greece and Turkey. Sevlengere traditionally speak Sepeči, a dialect of the Romani language, although the RomArchive claims the dialect is practically extinct.[2] The Sepeči dialect is considered to be non-Vlax,[3] and belongs to the Southern Balkan group of Romani dialects.[4] The ancestors of the Sevlengere were basketweavers in Thessaloniki, and lived there as nomads during the Ottoman Empire until the population exchange between Greece and Turkey.[5][6]
