What is Dom people?
The '''Dom''' ([[Arabic language|Arabic]]: دومي) are a people with origins in the [[Indian Subcontinent]], which through ancient migrations dispersed to the [[Middle East]], [[North Africa]], [[Central Asia]], [[Turkey]] and still other parts of the Indian subcontinent. They speak [[Domari language|Domari]], an endangered [[Indo-Aryan language]]. They have been associated with another traditionally itinerant group of Indo-Aryans called differently, the Roma people and Lom people: the three groups are said to have separated from each other or, at least, share a similar history. In particular, both the Dom, Lom and Roma ancestors left the subcontinent of northern India between the 6th and 11th centuries<ref>{{Cite web|title=ROMANI Project - Manchester|url=https://romani.humanities.manchester.ac.uk//atmanchester/projects/domari.shtml|access-date=2022-09-06|website=romani.humanities.manchester.ac.uk|archive-date=2017-10-11|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171011140905/http://romani.humanities.manchester.ac.uk/atmanchester/projects/domari.shtml|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=→ What is Domari?|url=https://www.domarisociety.com/what-is-domari|access-date=2022-09-06|website=Domari Society of Gypsies in Jerusalem|language=en-US}}</ref> ==References== {{reflist}} [[Category:Ethnic groups in Asia]] {{asia-stub}}
