The Romani (also spelled Romany or Rromani , ), colloquially known as the Roma, are an Indo-Aryan ethnic group, traditionally nomadic itinerants. They live in Europe and Anatolia, and have diaspora populations located worldwide, with significant concentrations in the Americas.

Linguistic and genetic evidence suggests that the Roma originated in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
