Lomavren (Armenian: Լոմավրեն lomavren) is a nearly extinct mixed language spoken by the Lom people, that arose from language contact between a language related to Romani and Domari^[2] and the Armenian language.

Names

The language is also known as Bosa/Bosha.

Linguistic features

It lacks grammatical gender and has seven grammatical cases; its grammar is closely related to that of the Erzurum dialect of Armenian, with the vocabulary being almost exclusively Indic.
