Yenish/Jéinesch/Jenisch

Hi, is anyone familiar with the Yenish language (in German „jenische Sprache“)? It used to be (or maybe still is) a language spoken by nomads and merchants who travelled around Europe. I’m actually not sure if there might also be variations/dialects of Yenish since the language is based on several Indoeuropean languages, including Yiddish and Romani. I only know that Luxembourgish took some words from „Jéinesch“.

I‘m curious if there is perhaps a list of common words, or some videos of people speaking Yenish. It seems to be quite a rare langage.
