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.
Roma are also known as Gypsies, Rom, Rroma, Romani, Sinti, etc. Overview: The Roma people migrated from north-west India to Persia between 224 and 642 CE. By the 14th and 15th centuries, some had migrated to western Europe. Some came to North America in the 19th and early 20th centuries. There are about 12 million Roma in the world.
