I would like to work with someone with a linguistics background.

Languages: 1. I believe Romani should be a fusional language, because in the link given (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morphological_typology) it says most Indo-European languages tend to be fusional languages, and there are marked similarities to many Indian languages, however I cannot find actual confirmation on that. It is spoken by around 611,000 people worldwide ("Did You Know Balkan Romani Is at Risk?"). It is written with a Latin script. The ISO codes used are rom, rmn, rml, rmc, rmf, rmo, rmy, and rmw (Wikipedia). Some texts can be found here (http://www2.arnes.si/~eusmith/Romany/samples.html) and here (http://romani.humanities.manchester.ac.uk/virtuallibrary/librarydb/web/files/pdfs/314/Paper28.pdf).

2. Neo-Aramaic is a moderately inflected, fusional language spoken by about 200,000 people in Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Turkey (instability in the region has caused a diaspora of speakers).
