Gypsy language

[edit]

Article says: "In several scenes in the story, the Gypsy characters speak in what was intended to be their native language. Not knowing said language, King turned to Czechoslovakian editions of his books and pulled random phrases from them."

The gypsy language in the book is in Swedish, how could he have pulled Swedish phrases from Czechoslovakian editions? 2.66.139.61 (talk) 23:05, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this should be changed. There is no source reference for the Czech hypothesis, so I guess it's straightforward just to change it. AlmMattias (talk) 09:49, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
