The Romani (also spelled Romany; /ËroÊmÉni/, /ËrÉ-/), or Roma, are a traditionally nomadic ethnic group, living mostly in Europe and the Americas and originating from the northern regions of the Indian subcontinent, presumably from where the states Rajasthan, Haryana, and Punjab exist today.
Travellers, Tinkers, Pavee, Quinkee, Ashkali, Egyptians, Jenische ... are not a ethnic group like the Roma. The Roma are a european minority. Roma form historically established minorities in their respective countries of nationality and call themselves Kale, Sinti or Roma.ditorâs note: The terms Gypsies, Roma, and Travellers are broad titles which describe diverse and different communities and are used in this article and film as general descriptors for the purpose of clarity. For a fuller discussion of these terms see the comments section below and Roma explainer at right.
