Other comments: Zargari (or Romano, as it is called by its speakers) is a member of the Romany / Romani branch of Indo-Aryan languages spoken by a small group of settled gypsies in the neighboring villages of Zargar and Baqerabad-e Tork in the Qazvin Province of north-west Iran. The speakers of Zargari, whose number can hardly even reach 1000, are almost entirely trilingual in Zargari, Azari Turkish and Persian;  The Zargari numeral system is constructed with few Indo-Aryan originals mixed with Greek borrowings (7, 8, 9, 30, 40 and 50). Note that traditional transcriptions: dž=IPA[dʒ],  š= [ʃ],  j = semivowel, v̄ = long vowel.
