[edit] How is Domari related to Panjabi & Rajasthani??

I know Romani is greatly related to both Panjabi & Rajasthani as some of the words within Romani are unique to the Panjabi language and are not spoken in any of the other Hindi based languages. The same is with the Rajasthani language and also the masculine words in Romani end with an 'o' which is also exclusive to Rajasthani.

Domari as far as I can see does not share these same comparisons and also does not have the Rajasthani 'o' on the end of masculine words but has 'a' like all other Hindi based languages.

I've read that Domari has three genders which are masculine, feminine and neutral unlike Romani, Panjabi and Rajasthani which are all double gender (masculine and feminine). Apparently the triple gender in Indian languages dates to pre-1000ad where around 1000ad a change to double gender took place.
