Abstract
The North Central Romani (NCR) dialect continuum is known to reach as far eastwards as Transcarpathian Ukraine. The chapter presents the easternmost variety of the NCR dialect continuum, which is spoken in a village of Serednye.
The main part is a brief outline of the Serednye Romani variety. While the focus is placed on a description of morphology, selected lexical, phonological, and syntactic features are also mentioned.
The outline shows that Serednye Romani is a conservative Eastern NCR dialect, although there are some unique innovations, as well as contact-induced changes triggered by the North Slavic and Hungarian influences.
