Caló or Spanish Romani is a dialect spoken by the Gitans or Zincarli (also calés, "dark ones") that came to Spain. Caló uses Romani vocabulary with Spanish grammar, [1] as Spanish Roma lost the full use of their ancestral language[2]. The language is mainly used for private talking between Roma people.
