'''Carpathian Romani''', also known as '''Central Romani''' or '''Romungro Romani''', is a group of dialects of the Romani language spoken from southern Poland to Hungary, and from eastern Austria to Ukraine.

'''Central Romani''' is one of a dozen major dialect groups within Romani, an Indo-Aryan language of Europe. The Central dialects of Romani are traditionally spoken by some subethnic groups of the Romani people in Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia (with the exception of its southwestern and south-central regions), southeastern Poland, the Transcarpathia province of Ukraine, and parts of Romanian Transylvania. There are also established outmigrant communities of Central Romani speakers in the United States, and recent outmigrant communities in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Belgium, and some other Western European countries.
