Roma Minority In Romania
Romani people (Roma; Romi, traditionally '' Țigani'', (often called "Gypsies" though this term is considered a slur) constitute one of Romania's largest minorities. According to the 2011 census, their number was 621.573 people or 3.3% of the total population, being the second-largest ethnic minority in Romania after Hungarians.

The linguistic evidence has indisputably shown that roots of Romani language lie in India: the language has grammatical characteri ...
