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.
Under regular phonetical changes that are typical to the Romanian languages, the name romanus over the centuries transformed into rumÃ¢n . An older form of romÃ¢n was still in use in some regions.
