They live in Europe and Anatolia, and have diaspora populations located worldwide, with significant concentrations in the Americas. In the English language, the Romani people are widely known by the exonym Gypsies (or Gipsies), which is considered pejorative by many Romani people due to its connotations of illegality and irregularity as well as its historical use as a racial slur.

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