Like the Roma in general, many different [[ethnonym]]s are given to subgroups of Roma. Sometimes a subgroup uses more than one [[endonym]], is commonly known by an [[exonym]] or erroneously by the endonym of another subgroup. The only name approaching an all-encompassing self-description is ''Rom''.{{sfn|Hübshmanová|2003}} Even when subgroups do not use the name, they all acknowledge a common origin and a dichotomy between themselves and ''[[Gadjo (non-Romani)|Gadjo]]'' (non-Roma).{{sfn |Hübshmanová|2003}} For instance, while the main group of Roma in [[List of territorial entities where German is an official language|German-speaking countries]] refer to themselves as [[Sinti]], their name for their original language is ''Romanes''.
Subgroups have been described as, in part, a result of the castes and subcastes in India, which the founding population of ''Rom'' almost certainly experienced in their south Asian ''[[urheimat]]''.{{sfn|Hübshmanová|2003}}<ref>{{cite book |last=Horvátová |first=Jana |title=Kapitoly z dějin Romů |publisher=Lidové noviny |place=Praha |url= http://www.varianty.cz/cdrom/podkapitoly/d01kapitoly.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050312184629/http://www.varianty.cz/cdrom/podkapitoly/d01kapitoly.pdf |archive-date=12 March 2005 |year=2002 |language=cs |page=12 |quote=Mnohočetnost romských skupin je patrně pozůstatkem diferenciace Romů do původních indických kast a podkast.

Many groups use names apparently derived from the Romani word ''kalo'' or ''calo'', meaning "black" or "absorbing all light". This closely resembles words for "black" or "dark" in [[Indo-Aryan languages]] (e.g., [[Sanskrit]] काल [[Kāla (time)#Etymology|''kāla'']]: "black", "of a dark colour").{{sfn |Hübshmanová|2003}} Likewise, the name of the [[Domba|Dom]] or Domba people of north India—with whom the Roma have genetic,<ref>[http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0048477 N.

=== ''Shahnameh'' legend ===
According to a legend reported in the [[Persian language|Persian]] epic poem, the ''[[Shahnameh]]'', the [[Sasanian]] king [[Bahram V|Bahrām V Gōr]] learned towards the end of his reign (421–439) that the poor could not afford to enjoy music, and so he asked the king of India to send him ten thousand ''[[Lori people|luris]]'', lute-playing experts. When the ''luris'' arrived, Bahrām gave each one an ox, a donkey, and a donkey-load of wheat so they could live on agriculture and play music for free for the poor. However, the ''luris'' ate the oxen and the wheat and came back a year later with their cheeks hollowed by hunger. The king, angered with their having wasted what he had given them, ordered them to pack up their bags and go wandering around the world on their donkeys.<ref name="GYPSY i">{{cite encyclopedia |last = Digard |first = Jean-Pierre |title = GYPSY i.

=== Linguistic evidence ===
Linguistic evidence has indisputably shown that the roots of the Romani language lie in India: the language has grammatical characteristics of Indian languages and shares with them a large part of the basic lexicon.<ref name="mluvnice">{{Citation |last1=Šebková |first1=Hana |last2=Žlnayová |first2=Edita |year=1998 |url=http://rss.archives.ceu.hu/archive/00001112/01/118.pdf |title=Nástin mluvnice slovenské romštiny (pro pedagogické účely) |place=Ústí nad Labem |publisher=Pedagogická fakulta Univerzity J.

Romani and [[Domari language|Domari]] share some similarities: [[agglutination]] of postpositions of the second layer (or [[case marking|case-marking]] clitics) to the nominal stem, concord markers for the past tense, the neutralisation of gender marking in the plural, and the use of the oblique case as an accusative.{{sfn|Matras|2002|p=48}} This has prompted much discussion about the relationships between these two languages. Domari was once thought to be a "sister language" of Romani, the two languages having split after the departure from the Indian subcontinent—but later research suggests that the differences between them are significant enough to treat them as two separate languages within the [[Central Indo-Aryan languages|central zone]] ([[Hindustani language|Hindustani]]) group of languages. The Dom and the Rom, therefore, likely descend from two migration waves from India separated by several centuries.<ref name="Domari">{{cite web |title=What is Domari? |publisher=University of Manchester.

In [[phonology]], the Romani language shares several isoglosses with the Central branch of Indo-Aryan languages, especially in the realization of some sounds of the Old Indo-Aryan. However, it also preserves several dental clusters. In regards to verb morphology, Romani follows exactly the same pattern of northwestern languages such as [[Kashmiri language|Kashmiri]] and [[Shina language|Shina]] through the adoption of oblique enclitic pronouns as person markers, lending credence to the theory of their Central Indian origin and a subsequent migration to northwestern India. Though the retention of dental clusters suggests a break from central languages during the transition from Old to Middle Indo-Aryan, the overall morphology suggests that the language participated in some of the significant developments leading toward the emergence of [[Indo-Aryan languages#New Indo-Aryan|New Indo-Aryan languages]].<ref name=Elsevier />

[[File:Haplogroup H map.png|thumb|The most common paternal haplogroup among Romani is the South Asian Y-chromosome H, most commonly found among [[Dravidian peoples]].<ref name="Pericic2005"/>]]
A full genome autosomal DNA study on 186 Roma samples from Europe in 2019 found that modern Roma people are characterized by a common [[Genetics and archaeogenetics of South Asia|south Asian]] origin and a complex admixture from [[Balkans|Balkan]], Middle East, and [[Caucasus]]-derived ancestries. The autosomal genetic data links the proto-Roma to groups in northwest India (specifically [[Punjabis|Punjabi]] and [[Gujarati people|Gujarati]] samples), as well as, [[Dravidian peoples|Dravidian-speaking]] groups in [[South India|southeastern India]] (specifically [[Irula people|Irula]]). The paternal lineages of Roma are most common in southern and central India among Dravidian-speaking populations. The authors argue that this may point to a [[founder effect]] among the early Romani during their ethnogenesis or shortly after they migrated out of the Indian subcontinent. In addition, they theorized of a possible low-[[Caste system in India|caste]] ([[Dalit]]) origin for the Proto-Roma, since they were genetically closer to the Punjabi cluster that lacks a common marker characteristic of high castes, which is West Euroasian admixing.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Font-Porterias |first1=Neus |last2=Arauna |first2=Lara R. |last3=Poveda |first3=Alaitz |last4=Bianco |first4=Erica |last5=Rebato |first5=Esther |last6=Prata |first6=Maria Joao |last7=Calafell |first7=Francesc |last8=Comas |first8=David |date=2019-09-23 |title=European Roma groups show complex West Eurasian admixture footprints and a common South Asian genetic origin |journal=PLOS Genetics |volume=15 |issue=9 |pages=e1008417 |doi=10.1371/journal.pgen.1008417 |issn=1553-7390 |pmc=6779411 |pmid=31545809 |doi-access=free }}</ref>
=== Possible migration route ===
[[File:Movimiento gitano.jpg|thumb|upright=1.36|The migration of the Romanis through the Middle East and Northern Africa to Europe]]
The Romani may have emerged from what is the modern Indian state of [[Rajasthan]], migrating to the northwest (the [[Punjab region]] of the [[Indian subcontinent]]) around 250 BCE.{{sfn|Marinov|2019}} Their subsequent westward migration, possibly in waves, is now believed to have occurred beginning in about 500 CE.<ref name="Comas" />
It has also been suggested that emigration from India may have taken place in the context of the raids by [[Mahmud of Ghazni]]. As these soldiers were defeated, they were moved west with their families into the [[Byzantine Empire]].<ref name="University of Hertfordshire Press"/> The author [[Ralph Lilley Turner]] theorised a central Indian origin of Romani followed by a migration to northwest India as it shares a number of ancient [[isogloss]]es with [[central Indo-Aryan languages]] in relation to realization of some sounds of [[Indo-Aryan languages#Old Indo-Aryan|Old Indo-Aryan]]. This is lent further credence by its sharing exactly the same pattern of northwestern languages such as [[Kashmiri language|Kashmiri]] and [[Shina language|Shina]] through the adoption of [[Oblique case|oblique]] [[clitic|enclitic]] pronouns as person markers. The overall morphology suggests that Romani participated in some of the significant developments leading toward the emergence of [[Indo-Aryan languages#New Indo-Aryan|New Indo-Aryan languages]], thus indicating that the proto-Romani did not leave the Indian subcontinent until late in the second half of the first millennium.<ref name=Elsevier>{{cite web |title = Romani |url = http://romani.humanities.manchester.ac.uk/downloads/2/Matras_Rmni_ELL.pdf |website = Encyclopedia of Language and Linguistics |publisher = Oxford: Elsevier |access-date = 30 August 2009 |archive-date = 11 October 2017 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20171011141138/http://romani.humanities.manchester.ac.uk/downloads/2/Matras_Rmni_ELL.pdf |url-status = dead }}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |title = Another Darkness Another Dawn |last = Taylor |first = Becky |publisher = Reaktion Books Ltd. |year = 2014 |location = London UK |pages = 22 |isbn = 978-1-78023-257-7 }}</ref>

=== Romani usage ===
In the [[Romani language]], ''Rom'' is a masculine noun, meaning 'husband of the Roma ethnic group', with the plural ''Roma''. The feminine of ''Rom'' in the Romani language is ''Romni/Romli/Romnije or Romlije''. However, in most cases, in other languages ''Rom'' is now used for individuals regardless of gender.<ref name="words">{{Citation |contribution-url = http://www.inotherwords-project.eu/content/project/media-analysis/terminology/terminology-concerning-roma |contribution = Roma, Sinti, Gypsies, Travellers...The Correct Terminology about Roma |title = In Other Words project |publisher = Web Observatory & Review for Discrimination alerts & Stereotypes deconstruction |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121005191238/http://www.inotherwords-project.eu/content/project/media-analysis/terminology/terminology-concerning-roma |archive-date=5 October 2012}}</ref>
''Romani'' is the feminine adjective, while ''Romano'' is the masculine adjective. Some Romanies use ''Rom'' or ''Roma'' as an ethnic name, while others (such as the [[Sinti]], or the [[Romanichal]]) do not use this term as a self-ascription for the entire ethnic group.{{sfn|Hancock|2002|p=xix}}
Sometimes, ''rom'' and ''romani'' are spelled with a double ''r'', i.e., ''rrom'' and ''rromani''. In this case ''rr'' is used to represent the [[phoneme]] [[Uvular trill|{{IPA|/ʀ/|cat=no}}]] (also written as ''ř'' and ''rh''), which in some Romani dialects has remained different from the one written with a single ''r''. The ''rr'' spelling is common in certain institutions (such as the [[Institut national des langues et civilisations orientales|INALCO Institute]] in Paris), or used in certain countries, e.g., Romania, to distinguish from the [[endonym]]/[[homonym]] for [[Romanians]] (''sg. român, pl. români'').{{sfn|Hancock|2002|p=xxi}}
In Norway, ''Romani'' is used exclusively for an older [[Northern Romani dialects|Northern Romani]]-speaking population (which arrived in the 16th century) while ''Rom/Romanes'' is used to describe [[Vlax Romani language|Vlax Romani]]-speaking groups which have arrived since the 19th century.<ref>{{cite web |title=Romani og romanes |url=https://www.sprakradet.no/Spraka-vare/Minoritetssprak/romani-og-romanes/ |website=Språkrådet |language=nb}}</ref>

In the English language (according to the [[Oxford English Dictionary]]), ''Rom'' is a noun (with the plural ''Roma'' or ''Roms'') and an adjective, while ''Romani'' (''Romany'') is also a noun (with the plural ''Romani'', ''the Romani'', ''Romanies'', or ''Romanis'') and an adjective.

=== Other designations ===
{{Main|Names of the Romani people}}
[[File:Visiting Romani - The Australasian 1898.png|thumb|"Visiting Gipsies", article from Australian newspaper, ''[[The Australasian]]'', 1898]]
The English term ''Gypsy'' (or ''Gipsy'') originates from the [[Middle English]] ''gypcian'', short for ''Egipcien''. The Spanish term ''Gitano'' and French ''Gitan'' have similar etymologies. They are ultimately derived from the [[Greek language|Greek]] {{lang|grc|Αιγύπτιοι}} (''Aigyptioi''), meaning Egyptian, via [[Latin]]. This designation owes its existence to the belief, common in the Middle Ages, that the Romani, or some related group (such as the middle eastern [[Dom people]]), were itinerant Egyptians.<ref name= Soulis>{{Citation |last = Soulis |first = G |year = 1961 |title = The Gypsies in the Byzantine Empire and the Balkans in the Late Middle Ages |series = Dumbarton Oaks Papers |publisher = Trustees for Harvard University |pages = 15, 141–65 }}</ref><ref name="White 1999">{{cite journal |url = http://www.isidore-of-seville.com/goudenhoorn/72karin.html |title = Metal-workers, agriculturists, acrobats, military-people and fortune-tellers: Roma (Gypsies) in and around the Byzantine empire |first = Karin |last = White |year = 1999 |journal = Golden Horn |volume = 7 |issue = 2 |access-date = 26 August 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010320210002/http://www.isidore-of-seville.com/goudenhoorn/72karin.html |archive-date=20 March 2001}}</ref> This belief appears to be derived from verses in the [[Bible|Biblical]] [[Book of Ezekiel]] (29: 6 and 12–13) which refer to the Egyptians being scattered among the nations by an angry God. According to one narrative, they were exiled from Egypt as punishment for allegedly harbouring the [[Child Jesus|infant Jesus]].{{sfn|Fraser|1992}} In his book ''The Zincali: an account of the Gypsies of Spain'', George Borrow notes that when they first appeared in Germany, it was under the character of Egyptians doing penance for their having refused hospitality to Mary and her son. As described in [[Victor Hugo]]'s novel ''[[The Hunchback of Notre-Dame]]'', the medieval French referred to the Romanies as ''Egyptiens''.

=== Arrival in Europe ===
According to a 2012 genomic study, the Romani reached the Balkans as early as the 12th century.<ref name="IsabelMendizabal"/> A document of 1068, describing an event in Constantinople, mentions "Atsingani", probably referring to Romani.<ref name="THiM">{{cite book |last1=Bereznay |first1=András |title=Historical Atlas of the Gypsies: Romani History in Maps |date=2021 |publisher=Méry Ratio|isbn=978-615-6284-10-5 |page=18/1}}</ref>
Later historical records of the Romani reaching southeastern Europe are from the 14th century: in 1322, after leaving Ireland on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, Irish [[Franciscan]] friar [[Symon Semeonis]] encountered a migrant group of Romani outside the town of Candia (modern [[Heraklion]]), in [[Crete]], calling them "the [[Kenites|descendants]] of [[Cain]]"; his account is the earliest surviving description by a western chronicler of the Romani in Europe.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://rm.coe.int/arrival-in-europe-factsheets-on-romani-history/16808b1908|title=Arrival in Europe}}</ref>
In 1350, [[Ludolph of Saxony]] mentioned a similar people with a unique language whom he called ''Mandapolos'', a word possibly derived from the Greek word ''mantes'' (meaning prophet or fortune teller).<ref>{{cite newsgroup |title = gypsies |first = Linda |last = Anfuso |date = 24 February 1994 |newsgroup = rec.org.sca |message-id = PaN9Hc2w165w@tinhat.stonemarche.org |url = http://www.florilegium.org/files/CULTURES/Gypsies-msg.html |access-date = 5 December 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070824232640/http://www.florilegium.org/files/CULTURES/Gypsies-msg.html |archive-date=24 August 2007 }}</ref>
In the 14th century, Romani are recorded in Venetian territories, including [[Methoni, Messenia|Methoni]] and [[Nafplio]] in the [[Peloponnese]], and Corfu.<ref name="THiM" /> Around 1360, a [[fiefdom]] called the ''[[Feudum Acinganorum]]'' was established in [[Corfu]], which mainly used Romani serfs and to which the Romani on the island were subservient.<ref>{{cite book |first1 = Charles |last1 = Keil |first2 = Dick |last2 = Blau |first3 = Angeliki |last3 = Keil |first4 = Steven |last4 = Feld |title = Bright Balkan Morning: Romani Lives and the Power of Music in Greek Macedonia |url = https://books.google.com/books?id=rPxA6JA49B4C&pg=PA50 |date = 9 December 2002 |publisher = Wesleyan University Press |isbn = 978-0-8195-6488-7 |pages = 50–51 }}</ref>

Their early history shows a mixed reception. Although 1385 marks the first recorded transaction for a Romani slave in [[Wallachia]], they were issued safe conduct by [[Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor|Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund]] in 1417. Romanis were ordered expelled from the [[Margraviate of Meissen|Meissen region]] of Germany in 1416, [[Lucerne]] in 1471, [[Milan]] in 1493, France in 1504, [[Catalonia]] in 1512, Sweden in 1525, [[Kingdom of England|England]] in 1530 (see [[Egyptians Act 1530]]), and Denmark in 1536. From 1510 onwards, any Romani found in Switzerland were to be executed; while in England (beginning in 1554) and Denmark (beginning of 1589) any Romani which did not leave within a month were to be executed. [[Kingdom of Portugal|Portugal]] began deportations of Romanis to its [[Colonial Brazil|colonies]] in 1538.<ref name="kenrick">{{Cite book |first = Donald |last = Kenrick |title = Historical Dictionary of the Gypsies (Romanis) |edition = 2nd |publisher = Scarecrow Press |date = 5 July 2007 |pages = xx–xxii |isbn = 978-0-8108-6440-5 |url = https://archive.org/details/atozofgypsiesrom0000unse }}</ref>
A 1596 English statute gave Romanis special privileges that other wanderers lacked. France passed a similar law in 1683. [[Catherine II of Russia|Catherine the Great of Russia]] declared the Romanis "crown slaves" (a status superior to [[serfs]]), but also kept them out of certain parts of [[St. Petersburg, Russia|the capital]].<ref name="Norman Davies 1996 387–388">{{cite book |first = Norman |last = Davies |title = Europe: A History |author-link = Norman Davies |isbn = 978-0-19-820171-7 |year = 1996 |pages = [https://archive.org/details/europehistory00davi_0/page/387 387–88] |title-link = Europe: A History |publisher = Oxford University Press }}</ref> In 1595, [[Ștefan Răzvan]] overcame his birth into slavery, and became the [[Voivode]] ([[List of Moldavian rulers|Prince]]) of [[Moldavia]].<ref name="kenrick" />
Since a royal edict by [[Charles II of Spain|Charles II]] in 1695, Spanish Romanis had been restricted to certain towns.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.coe.int/t/dg4/education/roma/Source/FS2/3.3_roundup-spain_english.pdf |author = Antonio Gómez Alfaro |title = The Great "Gypsy" Round-up in Spain |page = 4 }}</ref> An official edict in 1717 restricted them to only 75 towns and districts, so that they would not be concentrated in any one region. In the [[Great Gypsy Round-up]], Romani were arrested and imprisoned by the [[Spanish Monarchy]] in 1749.
During the latter part of the 17th century, around the [[Franco-Dutch War]], both France and the Dutch Republic needed thousands of men to fight. Some recruitment took the form of rounding up vagrants and the poor to work the galleys and provide the armies' labour force. With this background, Romanis were targets of both the French and the Dutch.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://rm.coe.int/western-europe-factsheets-on-romani-history/16808b19e4|title=Western Europe}}</ref>
After the wars, and into the first decade of the 18th century, Romanis were slaughtered with impunity throughout the Dutch Republic. Romanis, called 'heiden' by the Dutch, wandered throughout the rural areas of Europe and became the societal pariahs of the age. ''Heidenjachten'', translated as "heathen hunt" happened throughout the Dutch Republic in an attempt to eradicate them.<ref>{{Cite book |title = Another Darkness Another Dawn |last = Taylor |first = Becky |publisher = Reaktion Books Ltd. |year = 2014 |location = London UK |pages = 72 |isbn = 978-1-78023-257-7 }}</ref>
Although some Romani could be kept as slaves in Wallachia and Moldavia until [[abolitionism|abolition]] in 1856, the majority traveled as free nomads with their wagons, as alluded to in the spoked wheel symbol in the [[Flag of the Romani people|Romani flag]].{{sfn|Hancock|2001|p=25}} Elsewhere in Europe, they were subjected to [[ethnic cleansing]], abduction of their children, and [[Forced labor|forced labour]]. In England, Romani were sometimes expelled from small communities or hanged; in France, they were branded, and their heads were shaved; in [[Moravia]] and [[Bohemia]], the women were marked by their ears being severed. As a result, large groups of the Romani moved to the East, toward [[Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth|Poland]], which was more tolerant, and [[Ruska Roma|Russia]], where the Romani were treated more fairly as long as they paid the annual taxes.<ref>{{Citation |url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8136812.stm |first = Delia |last = Radu |title = 'On the Road': Centuries of Roma History |publisher = BBC |newspaper = World Service |date = 8 July 2009 }}</ref>
=== Modern history ===
Romani began emigrating to North America in colonial times, with small groups recorded in [[Virginia]] and [[Louisiana (New France)|French Louisiana]]. Larger-scale [[Roma in the United States|Roma emigration to the United States]] began in the 1860s, with Romanichal groups from Great Britain. The most significant number immigrated in the early 20th century, mainly from the Vlax group of [[Kalderash]]. Many Romani also settled in South America.

In [[Czechoslovakia]], they were labeled a "socially degraded stratum", and Romani women were sterilized as part of a state policy to reduce their population.

An official inquiry from the Czech Republic, resulting in a report (December 2005), concluded that the Communist authorities had practised an assimilation policy towards Romanis, which "included efforts by social services to control the birth rate in the Romani community.

The traditional Romanies place a high value on the [[extended family]]. [[Virginity]] is essential in unmarried women. Both men and women often marry young; there has been controversy in several countries over the Romani practice of [[child marriage]].<ref>{{Cite news |date=2003-10-02 |title=Gypsy child couple separated |language=en-GB |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/3159818.stm |access-date=2022-08-08}}</ref> Romani law establishes that the man's family must pay a [[bride price]] to the bride's parents, but only traditional families still follow it.
Once married, the woman joins the husband's family, where her main job is to tend to her husband's and her children's needs and take care of her in-laws. The power structure in the traditional Romani household has at its top the oldest man or grandfather, and men, in general, have more authority than women. Women gain respect and power as they get older. Young wives begin gaining authority once they have children.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Surdu |first1=Laura |last2=Surdu |first2=Mihai |date=2006 |title=Family Life |journal=Broadening the Agenda |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/resrep27094.9 |pages=31–42}}</ref>
Traditionally, as can be seen on paintings and photos, some Roma men wear shoulder-length hair and a mustache, as well as an earring.
Roma women generally have long hair, and Xoraxane Roma women often dye it blonde with henna.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1niHEAAAQBAJ&pg=PT87|title=Gypsies, Roma and Travellers: A Contemporary Analysis|first=Declan|last=Henry|date=7 September 2022|publisher=Critical Publishing|isbn=9781915080059 |via=Google Books}}</ref>

This regulation affects many aspects of life and is applied to actions, people and things: parts of [[Human anatomy|the human body]] are considered impure: the [[Sex organ|genital organs]] (because they produce emissions) and the rest of the lower body. Clothes for the lower body, as well as the clothes of [[Menstruation|menstruating]] women, are washed separately. Items used for eating are also washed in a different place. Childbirth is considered impure and must occur outside the dwelling place. The mother is deemed to be impure for forty days after giving birth.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://pdf.usaid.gov/pdf_docs/PNADM192.pdf|title=INTRODUCTION TO ROMA CULTURE}}</ref>
Death is considered impure, and affects the whole family of the dead, who remain impure for a period of time. In contrast to the practice of [[cremation|cremating]] the dead, Romani dead must be buried.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.geocities.com/Paris/5121/death.htm |title = Romani Customs and Traditions: Death Rituals and Customs |publisher = Patrin Web Journal |access-date = 26 August 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070821022337/http://www.geocities.com/Paris/5121/death.htm |archive-date=21 August 2007}}</ref> Cremation and burial are both known from the time of the [[Rigveda]], and both are widely practiced in [[Hinduism]] today (the general tendency is for Hindus to practice cremation, though some communities in modern-day south India tend to bury their dead).<ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.hindugateway.com/library/rituals/ |title = The Journey of a Lifebody |publisher = hindugateway.com |date = 1991 |access-date = 26 May 2008 |first = David M. |last = Knipe |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080930232759/http://www.hindugateway.com/library/rituals/ |archive-date=30 September 2008}}</ref> Animals that are considered to be having unclean habits are not eaten by the community.{{sfn|Hancock|2001|p=81}}

{{Main|Romanipen|Gadjo (non-Romani)}}
In Romani philosophy, ''Romanipen'' (also ''romanypen'', ''romanipe'', ''romanype'', ''romanimos'', ''romaimos'', ''romaniya'') is the totality of the Romani spirit, [[Romani society and culture|Romani culture]], [[Kris (Romani court)|Romani Law]], being a Romani, a set of Romani strains.<ref>{{cite book|title=Inward Looking: The Impact of Migration on Romanipe from the Romani Perspective|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Kl2jDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA38|author=Aleksandar G.

An ethnic Romani is considered a [[Gadjo (non-Romani)|gadjo]] in the Romani society if they have no ''Romanipen''. Sometimes a non-Romani may be considered a Romani if they do have ''Romanipen''.

For the Roma communities that have resided in the Balkans for numerous centuries, often referred to as "Turkish Gypsies", the following histories apply for religious beliefs:
* Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro – Islam is the dominant religion among the Roma.<ref name="Roma" />
* Bulgaria – In northwestern Bulgaria, in addition to Sofia and Kyustendil, Christianity is the dominant faith among the Romani, and a major conversion to Eastern Orthodox Christianity among the Romani has occurred. In southeastern Bulgaria, Islam is the dominant religion among the Romani, with a smaller section of the Romani declaring themselves as "Turks", continuing to mix ethnicity with Islam.<ref name="Roma">{{cite web |title =Roma Muslims in the Balkans |url=http://romafacts.uni-graz.at/index.php/culture/introduction/roma-muslims-in-the-balkans |website=Education of Roma Children in Europe |publisher=Council of Europe |access-date=26 December 2012 |first1=Elena |last1=Marushiakova |first2=Veselin |last2=Popov |year=2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120413184328/http://romafacts.uni-graz.at/index.php/culture/introduction/roma-muslims-in-the-balkans |archive-date=13 April 2012}}</ref>

* Greece – The descendants of groups, such as Sepečides or Sevljara, Kalpazaja, Filipidži and others, living in Athens, Thessaloniki, central Greece and [[Macedonia (Greece)|Greek Macedonia]] are mostly Orthodox Christians, with Islamic beliefs held by a minority of the population. Following the Peace Treaty of Lausanne of 1923, many Muslim Roma moved to Turkey in the subsequent population exchange between Turkey and Greece.<ref name="Roma" />

==== Other regions ====
In Ukraine and Russia, the Roma populations are also Muslim as the families of Balkan migrants continue to live in these locations. Their ancestors settled on the Crimean peninsula during the 17th and 18th centuries, but some migrated to Ukraine, southern Russia and the Povolzhie (along the Volga River). Formally, Islam is the religion that these communities align with and the people are recognized for their staunch preservation of the Romani language and identity.<ref name="Roma" />
In Poland and Slovakia, Romani populations are Roman Catholic, many times adopting and following local, cultural Catholicism as a [[Religious syncretism|syncretic]] system of belief that incorporates distinct Roma beliefs and cultural aspects. For example, many Polish Roma delay their Church wedding due to the belief that sacramental marriage is accompanied by divine ratification, creating a virtually indissoluble union until the couple consummate, after which the sacramental marriage is dissoluble only by the death of a spouse. Therefore, for Polish Roma, once married, one can't ever divorce. Another aspect of Polish Roma's Catholicism is a tradition of pilgrimage to the [[Jasna Góra Monastery]].<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.przewodnik-katolicki.pl/Archiwum/2016/Przewodnik-Katolicki-40-2016/Wiara-i-Kosciol/Wiara-po-romsku |title = Wiara po romsku}}</ref>

Romani music plays an important role in central and eastern European countries such as Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Albania, Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia and Romania, and the style and performance practices of Romani musicians have influenced European [[List of classical music composers|classical composers]] such as [[Franz Liszt]] and [[Johannes Brahms]]. The ''[[lăutari]]'' who perform at traditional Romanian weddings are virtually all Romani.<ref>{{cite book|title=Area Handbook for Romania – Volume 550, Issue 160|page=100}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=Marketing in a Multicultural World: Ethnicity, Nationalism, and Cultural Identity}}</ref>
Probably the most internationally prominent contemporary performers in the ''lăutari'' tradition are [[Taraful Haiducilor]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/348596804|title="Perverting the Taste of the People": Lăutari and the Balkan Question in Romania}}</ref> Bulgaria's popular "wedding music", too, is almost exclusively performed by Romani musicians such as [[Ivo Papasov]], a virtuoso clarinetist closely associated with this genre and Bulgarian pop-folk singer [[Azis]].
Many famous classical musicians, such as the [[Hungarian people|Hungarian]] pianist [[Georges Cziffra]], are Romani, as are many prominent performers of [[manele]]. [[Zdob și Zdub]], one of the most prominent rock bands in [[Moldova]], although not Romanies themselves, draw heavily on Romani music, as do [[Spitalul de Urgență]] in Romania, [[Shantel]] in Germany, [[Goran Bregović]] in Serbia, [[Darko Rundek]] in Croatia, [[Beirut (band)|Beirut]] and [[Gogol Bordello]] in the United States.
Another tradition of Romani music is the genre of the Romani [[brass band]], with such notable practitioners as [[Boban Marković]] of Serbia, and the brass ''lăutari'' groups [[Fanfare Ciocărlia]] and Fanfare din Cozmesti of Romania.<ref>{{cite book|title=Gypsy Music: The Balkans and Beyond|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RHRdDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT125|author=Alan Ashton-Smith|year=2017| publisher=Reaktion Books | isbn=978-1-78023-865-4 }}</ref>
The distinctive sound of Romani music has also strongly influenced [[bolero]], [[jazz]], and [[flamenco]] (especially ''[[cante jondo]]'') in Spain.<ref>{{cite book|title=Rethinking (In)Security in the European Union: The Migration-Identity-Security Nexus|page=148}}</ref>

== Contemporary art and culture ==
Romani contemporary art emerged at the climax of the process that began in [[Central and Eastern Europe]] in the late 1980s, when the interpretation of the cultural practice of minorities was enabled by a paradigm shift, commonly referred to in specialist literature as the "[[cultural turn]]". The idea of the cultural turn was introduced; and this was also the time when the notion of cultural democracy became crystallized in the debates carried on at various public forums. [[Civil society]] gained strength, and civil politics appeared, which is a prerequisite for cultural democracy. This shift of attitude in scholarly circles derived from concerns specific not only to ethnicity but also to society, gender and class.<ref>{{cite news |title = Meet Your Neighbors |url = https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/sites/default/files/neighbours_20090615.pdf |work = opensourcefoundations.org }}</ref>

This makes Romani the second-largest [[minority language]] in Europe, behind [[Catalan language|Catalan]].<ref name="Manchester_Rom" />
In regards to the diversity of dialects, Romani works in the same way as most other European languages.<ref name="The status of Romani in Europe">{{cite journal |last = Matras |first = Yaron |title = The status of Romani in Europe |journal = Report Submitted to the Council of Europe's Language Policy Division |date = October 2005 |page = 4 |url = http://romani.humanities.manchester.ac.uk/downloads/1/statusofromani.pdf |access-date = 4 March 2015 |archive-date = 3 May 2019 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20190503035937/https://romani.humanities.manchester.ac.uk//downloads/1/statusofromani.pdf |url-status = dead }}</ref> Cross-dialect communication is dominated by the following features:
* All Romani speakers are [[bilingual]], accustomed to borrowing words or phrases from a [[second language]]; this makes it difficult to communicate with Romanis from different countries
* Romani was traditionally a [[language]] shared between extended family and a close-knit community. This has resulted in the inability to comprehend [[dialects]] from other countries, and is why Romani is sometimes considered to be several different languages.
* There is no tradition or literary standard for Romani speakers to use as a guideline for their language use.<ref name="The status of Romani in Europe" />

=== Historical persecution ===
[[File:Romani women in jail, Los Angeles, California, 1940.jpg|thumb|Six Romani women in jail, Los Angeles, California, 1940]]
One of the most enduring persecutions against the Romani was their enslavement. [[Slavery in medieval Europe|Slavery was widely practiced in medieval Europe]], including the territory of present-day [[Romania]] from before the founding of the principalities of [[Moldavia]] and [[Wallachia]] in the 13th–14th centuries.{{sfn|Achim|2004|p={{Page needed |date=September 2015}}}} Legislation decreed that all the Romani living in these states, as well as any others who immigrated there, were classified as slaves.<ref>{{Cite book |title = Istoria și tradițiile minorității rromani |page = 36 |year = 2005 |publisher = Sigma |location = Bucharest |author1-link = Delia Grigore |last1 = Grigore |first1 = Delia |first2 = Petre |last2 = Petcuț |first3 = Mariana |last3 = Sandu |language = ro }}</ref> Slavery was gradually [[Abolitionism|abolished]] during the 1840s and 1850s.{{sfn|Achim|2004|p={{Page needed |date=September 2015}}}}
The exact origins of [[Slavery in Romania|slavery]] in the [[Danubian Principalities]] are not known. There is some debate over whether the Romani came to Wallachia and Moldavia as free men or were brought there as slaves. Historian [[Nicolae Iorga]] associated the Roma people's arrival with the 1241 [[Mongol invasion of Europe]] and he also considered their enslavement a vestige of that era, in which the [[Romanians]] took the Roma from the [[Mongols]] and preserved their status as slaves so they could use their labor. Other historians believe that the Romani were enslaved while they were being captured during the battles with the Tatars. The practice of enslaving [[Prisoner of war|prisoners of war]] may have also been adopted from the Mongols.{{sfn|Achim|2004|p={{Page needed |date=September 2015}}}}
Some Romani may have been slaves of the Mongols or the Tatars or they may have served as auxiliary troops in the Mongol or Tatar armies, but most of them migrated from south of the [[Danube]] at the end of the 14th century, some time after the [[founding of Wallachia]]. By then, the institution of slavery was already established in Moldavia and it was possibly established in both principalities. After the Roma migrated into the area, slavery became a widespread practice among the majority of the population. The [[Tatars|Tatar]] slaves, smaller in numbers, were eventually merged into the Roma population.<ref>{{Citation |first = Ștefan |last = Ștefănescu |title = Istoria medie a României |volume = I |publisher = Editura Universității din București |place = Bucharest |year = 1991 |language = ro }}</ref>
Some branches of the Romani reached western Europe in the 15th century, fleeing from the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] conquest of the Balkans as refugees.<ref>{{cite news |title = Gypsy/Roma European migrations from 15th century till nowadays |url = https://www.academia.edu/1132677 |work = academia.edu }}{{Dead link|date=February 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Although the Romani were refugees from the conflicts in southeastern Europe, they were often suspected of being associated with the [[Ottoman wars in Europe|Ottoman invasion]] by certain populations in the West because their physical appearance was exotic. (The [[Reichstag (Holy Roman Empire)#The Reichstag in the Holy Roman Empire|Imperial Diet]] at Landau and Freiburg in 1496–1498 declared that the Romani were spies for the Turks). In western Europe, such suspicions and discrimination against people who constituted a visible minority resulted in persecution, often violent, with attempts to commit [[ethnic cleansing]] until the modern era. In times of social tension, the Romani suffered as scapegoats; for instance, they were accused of bringing the plague during times of [[epidemics]].<ref name="timeline">{{cite web |url = http://www.geocities.com/Paris/5121/timeline.htm |publisher = Patrin Web Journal |title = Timeline of Romani History |access-date = 26 August 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071111142247/http://www.geocities.com/Paris/5121/timeline.htm |archive-date=11 November 2007}}</ref>
On 30 July 1749, Spain conducted [[The Great Roundup of Gypsies (1749)|''The Great Roundup'']] of [[Romani people in Spain|Romani]] (Gitanos) in its territory. The Spanish Crown ordered a nationwide raid that led to the break-up of families because all able-bodied men were interned in forced labor camps in an attempt to commit ethnic cleansing. The measure was eventually reversed and the Romanis were freed as protests began to erupt in different communities, sedentary Romanis were highly esteemed and protected in rural Spain.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://web.jet.es/gea21/mteorico/apuntes/anexo3.htm |title=Cap. 2: 2.1 Apuntes sobre la situación de la comunidad gitana en la sociedad Española – Anexo III.

Later in the 19th century, Romani immigration was forbidden on a racial basis in areas outside Europe, mostly in the English-speaking world. In 1880, Argentina prohibited immigration by Roma, as did the United States in 1885.<ref name="timeline" />
=== Forced assimilation ===
[[File:Bundesarchiv R 165 Bild-244-48, Asperg, Deportation von Sinti und Roma.jpg|thumb|Deportation of Roma from [[Asperg]], Germany, 1940 (photograph by the ''Rassenhygienische Forschungsstelle'')]]
In the [[Habsburg monarchy]] under [[Maria Theresa of Austria|Maria Theresa]] (1740–1780), a series of decrees tried to integrate the Romanies to get them to [[sedentism|permanently settle]], removed their rights to horse and wagon ownership (1754) to reduce citizen-mobility, renamed them "New Citizens" and obliged Romani boys into military service just as any other citizens were if they had no trade (1761, and Revision 1770), required them to register with the local authorities (1767), and another decree prohibited marriages between Romanies (1773) to integrate them into the local population. Her successor [[Joseph II, Holy Roman Emperor|Josef II]] prohibited the wearing of traditional Romani clothing along with the use of the [[Romani language]], both of which were punishable by flogging.<ref name="samer" /> During this time, the schools were obliged to register and integrate Romani children; this policy was the first of the modern policies of integration. In Spain, attempts to assimilate the Gitanos were under way as early as 1619, when the Gitanos were forcibly settled, the use of the [[Romani language]] was prohibited, Gitano men and women were sent to separate workhouses and their children were sent to orphanages. [[Charles III of Spain|King Charles III]] took a more progressive approach to Gitano assimilation, proclaiming that they had the same rights as Spanish citizens and ending the official denigration of them which was based on their [[Race (human categorization)|race]]. While he prohibited their nomadic lifestyle, their use of the [[Caló (Spanish Romani)|Calo language]], the manufacture and wearing of Romani clothing, their trade in horses and other itinerant trades, he also forbade any form of discrimination against them and he also forbade the guilds from barring them. The use of the word ''gitano'' was also forbidden to further their assimilation, it was replaced with "New Castilian", a designation which was also applied to former [[History of the Jews in Spain|Jews]] and [[Islam in Spain|Muslims]].<ref>{{ cite book |first=Angus |surname= Fraser |title = Los gitanos|publisher = Ariel|year = 2005|isbn = 978-84-344-6780-4}}</ref><ref>Texto de la pragmática en la [https://books.google.com/books?id=UnBFAAAAcAAJ&dq=%22Declaro+que+los+que+llaman+y+se+dicen+gitanos+no+lo+son+por+origen+ni+por+naturaleza%2C+ni+provienen+de+raiz+infecta+alguna%22&pg=PA367 ''Novísima Recopilación''.

Most historians believe that Charles III's [[Pragmatic sanction|pragmática]] failed for three main reasons, reasons which were ultimately derived from its implementation outside major cities as well as in marginal areas: The difficulty which the Gitano community faced in changing its nomadic lifestyle, the marginal lifestyle to which the community had been driven by society and the serious difficulties of applying the pragmática in the fields of education and work. One author ascribes its failure to the overall rejection of the integration of the Gitanos by the wider population.<ref name="samer">{{cite web |url = http://rombase.uni-graz.at//cgi-bin/art.cgi?src=data%2Fhist%2Fmodern%2Fmaria.en.xml |title = Maria Theresia and Joseph II: Policies of Assimilation in the Age of Enlightened Absolutism |publisher = Karl-Franzens-Universitaet Graz |website = Rombase |date = December 2001 |first = Helmut |last = Samer |access-date = 3 October 2015 |archive-date=6 April 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150406004922/http://rombase.uni-graz.at//cgi-bin/art.cgi?src=data%2Fhist%2Fmodern%2Fmaria.en.xml }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.everyculture.com/Europe/Gitanos-History-and-Cultural-Relations.html |title = Gitanos.

Other policies of forced assimilation were implemented in other countries, one of these countries was Norway, where a law which permitted the state to remove children from their parents and place them in state institutions was passed in 1896.<ref>{{cite web |last = Kenrick |first = Donald |title = Roma in Norway |url = http://www.reocities.com/~patrin/norway.htm |publisher = Patrin Web Journal |access-date = 13 March 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130429054318/http://www.reocities.com/~patrin/norway.htm |archive-date=29 April 2013 }}</ref> This resulted in some 1,500 Romani children being taken from their parents in the 20th century.<ref>{{cite web |url = https://www.oikoumene.org/en/resources/documents/central-committee/2002/the-church-of-norway-and-the-roma-of-norway |title = The Church of Norway and the Roma of Norway |publisher = [[World Council of Churches]] |date = 3 September 2002 }}</ref>
=== Porajmos (Romani Holocaust) ===
{{Main|Romani Holocaust}}
During [[World War II]] and [[The Holocaust]], the persecution of the Romanis reached a peak during the [[Romani Holocaust]] (the Porajmos), the [[genocide]] which was perpetrated against them by [[Nazi Germany]]. In 1935, the Romani who lived in Germany lost their citizenship when it was stripped from them by the [[Nuremberg laws]], after that, they were subjected to violence and imprisonment in [[Nazi concentration camps|concentration camps]]. During the war, the policy was extended to areas under German occupation, and it was also implemented by other axis countries, most notably, by the [[Independent State of Croatia]], [[Romania in World War II|Romania]], and [[Hungary in World War II|Hungary]]. Since 1942 Romanis were subjected to [[genocide]] in [[extermination camp]]s.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/genocide-of-european-roma-gypsies-1939-1945|title=Genocide of European Roma (Gypsies), 1939–1945|website=encyclopedia.ushmm.org}}</ref>
Because no accurate pre-war census figures exist for the Romanis, the actual number of Romani victims who were killed in the Romani Holocaust cannot be assessed. Most estimates of the number of Romani victims who were killed in the Romani Holocaust range from 200,000 to 500,000, but other estimates vary broadly from 90,000 to as high as 4,000,000. Lower estimates do not include those Romanis who were killed in all [[Axis powers|Axis]]-controlled countries. A detailed study by Sybil Milton, a former senior historian at the [[U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum]] contained an estimate of at least 220,000, possibly as many as 500,000.<ref>{{Citation |url = http://www.nyed.uscourts.gov/pub/rulings/cv/1996/685455.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040409001621/http://www.nyed.uscourts.gov/pub/rulings/cv/1996/685455.pdf |archive-date=9 April 2004 |title = Re.

In central Europe, the extermination in the [[Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia]] was so thorough that the [[Bohemian Romani]] language became extinct.

The 2008 [[Death of Cristina and Violetta Djeordsevic|deaths of Cristina and Violetta Djeordsevic]], two Roma children who drowned while Italian beach-goers remained unperturbed, brought international attention to the relationship between Italians and the Roma people. Reviewing the situation in 2012, one Belgian magazine observed:{{blockquote|On International Roma Day, which falls on 8 April, the significant proportion of Europe's 12 million Roma who live in deplorable conditions will not have much to celebrate. And poverty is not the only worry for the community. Ethnic tensions are on the rise. In 2008, Roma camps came under attack in Italy, intimidation by racist parliamentarians is the norm in Hungary. Speaking in 1993, [[Václav Havel]] prophetically remarked that "the treatment of the Roma is a [[litmus test (politics)|litmus test]] for democracy": and democracy has been found wanting. The consequences of the transition to [[capitalism]] have been disastrous for the Roma. Under [[communism]] they had jobs, free housing and schooling. Now many are unemployed, many are losing their homes and racism is increasingly rewarded with [[impunity]].<ref name="MO 2012">{{cite web |url = http://www.presseurop.eu/en/content/article/1757331-bleak-horizon |title = Bleak horizon |first = Hellen |last = Kooijman |place = EU |date = 6 April 2012 |publisher = Presseurop |access-date = 6 April 2012 |archive-date = 7 April 2012 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120407105800/http://www.presseurop.eu/en/content/article/1757331-bleak-horizon |url-status = dead }}</ref>}}

Many depictions of the Romani in literature and art present romanticized narratives of the mystical powers of [[fortune telling]] or as people who have an irascible or passionate temper paired with an indomitable love of freedom and a habit of criminality. The Romani were a popular subject in [[Venetian school (art)|Venetian painting]] from the time of [[Giorgione]] at the start of the 16th century. The inclusion of such a figure adds an exotic oriental flavor to scenes. A [[Venice|Venetian]] [[Renaissance art|Renaissance]] painting by [[Paris Bordone]] (c. 1530, [[Strasbourg]]) of the [[Holy Family]] in Egypt makes [[Elizabeth (biblical figure)|Elizabeth]] a Romani [[Fortune-telling|fortune-teller]]; the scene is otherwise located in a distinctly European landscape.<ref>{{cite book |last = Jacquot |first = Dominique |title = Le musée des Beaux-Arts de Strasbourg — Cinq siècles de peinture |date = 2006 |publisher = Éditions des Musées de Strasbourg |location = Strasbourg |isbn = 978-2-901833-78-9 |page = 76 }}</ref>
Particularly notable are classics like the story ''[[Carmen (novella)|Carmen]]'' by [[Prosper Mérimée]] and the [[Carmen|opera based on it]] by [[Georges Bizet]], [[Victor Hugo]]'s ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]'', [[Herge]]'s ''[[The Castafiore Emerald]]'', [[Miguel de Cervantes]]' ''La Gitanilla'' and [[George Borrow]]'s ''[[Lavengro]]'' and ''[[The Romany Rye]]''. The Romani were also depicted in ''[[A Midsummer Night's Dream]]'', ''[[As You Like It]]'', ''[[Othello]]'' and ''[[The Tempest]]'', all by [[William Shakespeare]].
The Romani were also heavily romanticized in the [[Soviet Union]], a classic example being the 1975 film ''[[Gypsies Are Found Near Heaven|Tabor ukhodit v Nebo]]''.
A more realistic depiction of contemporary [[Romani in the Balkans]], featuring Romani lay actors speaking in their native dialects, although still playing with established clichés of a Romani penchant for both magic and crime, was presented by [[Emir Kusturica]] in his ''[[Time of the Gypsies]]'' (1988) and ''[[Black Cat, White Cat]]'' (1998). The films of [[Tony Gatlif]], a French director of Romani ethnicity, like ''Les Princes'' (1983), ''[[Latcho Drom]]'' (1993) and ''Gadjo Dilo'' (1997) also portray Romani life.

Like the Roma in general, many different [[ethnonym]]s are given to subgroups of Roma.

According to a legend reported in the [[Persian language|Persian]] epic poem, the ''[[Shahnameh]]'', the [[Sasanian]] king [[Bahram V|Bahrām V Gōr]] learned towards the end of his reign (421–439) that the poor could not afford to enjoy music, and so he asked the king of India to send him ten thousand ''[[Lori people|luris]]'', lute-playing experts. When the ''luris'' arrived, Bahrām gave each one an ox, a donkey, and a donkey-load of wheat so they could live on agriculture and play music for free for the poor. However, the ''luris'' ate the oxen and the wheat and came back a year later with their cheeks hollowed by hunger. The king, angered with their having wasted what he had given them, ordered them to pack up their bags and go wandering around the world on their donkeys.<ref name="GYPSY i">{{cite encyclopedia |last = Digard |first = Jean-Pierre |title = GYPSY i.

Romani and [[Domari language|Domari]] share some similarities: [[agglutination]] of postpositions of the second layer (or [[case marking|case-marking]] clitics) to the nominal stem, concord markers for the past tense, the neutralisation of gender marking in the plural, and the use of the oblique case as an accusative.{{sfn|Matras|2002|p=48}} This has prompted much discussion about the relationships between these two languages. Domari was once thought to be a "sister language" of Romani, the two languages having split after the departure from the Indian subcontinent—but later research suggests that the differences between them are significant enough to treat them as two separate languages within the [[Central Indo-Aryan languages|central zone]] ([[Hindustani language|Hindustani]]) group of languages. The Dom and the Rom, therefore, likely descend from two migration waves from India separated by several centuries.<ref name="Domari">{{cite web |title=What is Domari? |publisher=University of Manchester.

In [[phonology]], the Romani language shares several isoglosses with the Central branch of Indo-Aryan languages, especially in the realization of some sounds of the Old Indo-Aryan. However, it also preserves several dental clusters. In regards to verb morphology, Romani follows exactly the same pattern of northwestern languages such as [[Kashmiri language|Kashmiri]] and [[Shina language|Shina]] through the adoption of oblique enclitic pronouns as person markers, lending credence to the theory of their Central Indian origin and a subsequent migration to northwestern India. Though the retention of dental clusters suggests a break from central languages during the transition from Old to Middle Indo-Aryan, the overall morphology suggests that the language participated in some of the significant developments leading toward the emergence of [[Indo-Aryan languages#New Indo-Aryan|New Indo-Aryan languages]].<ref name=Elsevier />

[[File:Haplogroup H map.png|thumb|The most common paternal haplogroup among Romani is the South Asian Y-chromosome H, most commonly found among [[Dravidian peoples]].<ref name="Pericic2005"/>]]
A full genome autosomal DNA study on 186 Roma samples from Europe in 2019 found that modern Roma people are characterized by a common [[Genetics and archaeogenetics of South Asia|south Asian]] origin and a complex admixture from [[Balkans|Balkan]], Middle East, and [[Caucasus]]-derived ancestries. The autosomal genetic data links the proto-Roma to groups in northwest India (specifically [[Punjabis|Punjabi]] and [[Gujarati people|Gujarati]] samples), as well as, [[Dravidian peoples|Dravidian-speaking]] groups in [[South India|southeastern India]] (specifically [[Irula people|Irula]]). The paternal lineages of Roma are most common in southern and central India among Dravidian-speaking populations. The authors argue that this may point to a [[founder effect]] among the early Romani during their ethnogenesis or shortly after they migrated out of the Indian subcontinent. In addition, they theorized of a possible low-[[Caste system in India|caste]] ([[Dalit]]) origin for the Proto-Roma, since they were genetically closer to the Punjabi cluster that lacks a common marker characteristic of high castes, which is West Euroasian admixing.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Font-Porterias |first1=Neus |last2=Arauna |first2=Lara R. |last3=Poveda |first3=Alaitz |last4=Bianco |first4=Erica |last5=Rebato |first5=Esther |last6=Prata |first6=Maria Joao |last7=Calafell |first7=Francesc |last8=Comas |first8=David |date=2019-09-23 |title=European Roma groups show complex West Eurasian admixture footprints and a common South Asian genetic origin |journal=PLOS Genetics |volume=15 |issue=9 |pages=e1008417 |doi=10.1371/journal.pgen.1008417 |issn=1553-7390 |pmc=6779411 |pmid=31545809 |doi-access=free }}</ref>
=== Possible migration route ===
[[File:Movimiento gitano.jpg|thumb|upright=1.36|The migration of the Romanis through the Middle East and Northern Africa to Europe]]
The Romani may have emerged from what is the modern Indian state of [[Rajasthan]], migrating to the northwest (the [[Punjab region]] of the [[Indian subcontinent]]) around 250 BCE.{{sfn|Marinov|2019}} Their subsequent westward migration, possibly in waves, is now believed to have occurred beginning in about 500 CE.<ref name="Comas" />

As these soldiers were defeated, they were moved west with their families into the [[Byzantine Empire]].<ref name="University of Hertfordshire Press"/> The author [[Ralph Lilley Turner]] theorised a central Indian origin of Romani followed by a migration to northwest India as it shares a number of ancient [[isogloss]]es with [[central Indo-Aryan languages]] in relation to realization of some sounds of [[Indo-Aryan languages#Old Indo-Aryan|Old Indo-Aryan]]. This is lent further credence by its sharing exactly the same pattern of northwestern languages such as [[Kashmiri language|Kashmiri]] and [[Shina language|Shina]] through the adoption of [[Oblique case|oblique]] [[clitic|enclitic]] pronouns as person markers. The overall morphology suggests that Romani participated in some of the significant developments leading toward the emergence of [[Indo-Aryan languages#New Indo-Aryan|New Indo-Aryan languages]], thus indicating that the proto-Romani did not leave the Indian subcontinent until late in the second half of the first millennium.<ref name=Elsevier>{{cite web |title = Romani |url = http://romani.humanities.manchester.ac.uk/downloads/2/Matras_Rmni_ELL.pdf |website = Encyclopedia of Language and Linguistics |publisher = Oxford: Elsevier |access-date = 30 August 2009 |archive-date = 11 October 2017 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20171011141138/http://romani.humanities.manchester.ac.uk/downloads/2/Matras_Rmni_ELL.pdf |url-status = dead }}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |title = Another Darkness Another Dawn |last = Taylor |first = Becky |publisher = Reaktion Books Ltd. |year = 2014 |location = London UK |pages = 22 |isbn = 978-1-78023-257-7 }}</ref>

=== Romani usage ===
In the [[Romani language]], ''Rom'' is a masculine noun, meaning 'husband of the Roma ethnic group', with the plural ''Roma''. The feminine of ''Rom'' in the Romani language is ''Romni/Romli/Romnije or Romlije''. However, in most cases, in other languages ''Rom'' is now used for individuals regardless of gender.<ref name="words">{{Citation |contribution-url = http://www.inotherwords-project.eu/content/project/media-analysis/terminology/terminology-concerning-roma |contribution = Roma, Sinti, Gypsies, Travellers...The Correct Terminology about Roma |title = In Other Words project |publisher = Web Observatory & Review for Discrimination alerts & Stereotypes deconstruction |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121005191238/http://www.inotherwords-project.eu/content/project/media-analysis/terminology/terminology-concerning-roma |archive-date=5 October 2012}}</ref>
''Romani'' is the feminine adjective, while ''Romano'' is the masculine adjective. Some Romanies use ''Rom'' or ''Roma'' as an ethnic name, while others (such as the [[Sinti]], or the [[Romanichal]]) do not use this term as a self-ascription for the entire ethnic group.{{sfn|Hancock|2002|p=xix}}
Sometimes, ''rom'' and ''romani'' are spelled with a double ''r'', i.e., ''rrom'' and ''rromani''. In this case ''rr'' is used to represent the [[phoneme]] [[Uvular trill|{{IPA|/ʀ/|cat=no}}]] (also written as ''ř'' and ''rh''), which in some Romani dialects has remained different from the one written with a single ''r''. The ''rr'' spelling is common in certain institutions (such as the [[Institut national des langues et civilisations orientales|INALCO Institute]] in Paris), or used in certain countries, e.g., Romania, to distinguish from the [[endonym]]/[[homonym]] for [[Romanians]] (''sg. român, pl. români'').{{sfn|Hancock|2002|p=xxi}}
In Norway, ''Romani'' is used exclusively for an older [[Northern Romani dialects|Northern Romani]]-speaking population (which arrived in the 16th century) while ''Rom/Romanes'' is used to describe [[Vlax Romani language|Vlax Romani]]-speaking groups which have arrived since the 19th century.<ref>{{cite web |title=Romani og romanes |url=https://www.sprakradet.no/Spraka-vare/Minoritetssprak/romani-og-romanes/ |website=Språkrådet |language=nb}}</ref>

In the English language (according to the [[Oxford English Dictionary]]), ''Rom'' is a noun (with the plural ''Roma'' or ''Roms'') and an adjective, while ''Romani'' (''Romany'') is also a noun (with the plural ''Romani'', ''the Romani'', ''Romanies'', or ''Romanis'') and an adjective. Both ''Rom'' and ''Romani'' have been in use in English since the 19th century as an alternative for Gypsy.<ref>[[OED]] "Romany" first use 1812 in a slang dictionary; "Rom" and "Roma" as plural, first uses by [[George Burrow]] in the Introduction to his ''[[The Zincali]]'' (1846 edition), also using "Rommany"</ref> ''Romani'' was sometimes spelled ''Rommany'', but more often ''Romany'', while today ''Romani'' is the most popular spelling. Occasionally, the double ''r'' spelling (e.g., ''Rroma'', ''Rromani'') mentioned above is also encountered in English texts.

[[File:Visiting Romani - The Australasian 1898.png|thumb|"Visiting Gipsies", article from Australian newspaper, ''[[The Australasian]]'', 1898]]
The English term ''Gypsy'' (or ''Gipsy'') originates from the [[Middle English]] ''gypcian'', short for ''Egipcien''. The Spanish term ''Gitano'' and French ''Gitan'' have similar etymologies. They are ultimately derived from the [[Greek language|Greek]] {{lang|grc|Αιγύπτιοι}} (''Aigyptioi''), meaning Egyptian, via [[Latin]]. This designation owes its existence to the belief, common in the Middle Ages, that the Romani, or some related group (such as the middle eastern [[Dom people]]), were itinerant Egyptians.<ref name= Soulis>{{Citation |last = Soulis |first = G |year = 1961 |title = The Gypsies in the Byzantine Empire and the Balkans in the Late Middle Ages |series = Dumbarton Oaks Papers |publisher = Trustees for Harvard University |pages = 15, 141–65 }}</ref><ref name="White 1999">{{cite journal |url = http://www.isidore-of-seville.com/goudenhoorn/72karin.html |title = Metal-workers, agriculturists, acrobats, military-people and fortune-tellers: Roma (Gypsies) in and around the Byzantine empire |first = Karin |last = White |year = 1999 |journal = Golden Horn |volume = 7 |issue = 2 |access-date = 26 August 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010320210002/http://www.isidore-of-seville.com/goudenhoorn/72karin.html |archive-date=20 March 2001}}</ref> This belief appears to be derived from verses in the [[Bible|Biblical]] [[Book of Ezekiel]] (29: 6 and 12–13) which refer to the Egyptians being scattered among the nations by an angry God.

According to a 2012 genomic study, the Romani reached the Balkans as early as the 12th century.<ref name="IsabelMendizabal"/> A document of 1068, describing an event in Constantinople, mentions "Atsingani", probably referring to Romani.<ref name="THiM">{{cite book |last1=Bereznay |first1=András |title=Historical Atlas of the Gypsies: Romani History in Maps |date=2021 |publisher=Méry Ratio|isbn=978-615-6284-10-5 |page=18/1}}</ref>
Later historical records of the Romani reaching southeastern Europe are from the 14th century: in 1322, after leaving Ireland on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, Irish [[Franciscan]] friar [[Symon Semeonis]] encountered a migrant group of Romani outside the town of Candia (modern [[Heraklion]]), in [[Crete]], calling them "the [[Kenites|descendants]] of [[Cain]]"; his account is the earliest surviving description by a western chronicler of the Romani in Europe.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://rm.coe.int/arrival-in-europe-factsheets-on-romani-history/16808b1908|title=Arrival in Europe}}</ref>
In 1350, [[Ludolph of Saxony]] mentioned a similar people with a unique language whom he called ''Mandapolos'', a word possibly derived from the Greek word ''mantes'' (meaning prophet or fortune teller).<ref>{{cite newsgroup |title = gypsies |first = Linda |last = Anfuso |date = 24 February 1994 |newsgroup = rec.org.sca |message-id = PaN9Hc2w165w@tinhat.stonemarche.org |url = http://www.florilegium.org/files/CULTURES/Gypsies-msg.html |access-date = 5 December 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070824232640/http://www.florilegium.org/files/CULTURES/Gypsies-msg.html |archive-date=24 August 2007 }}</ref>

Their early history shows a mixed reception. Although 1385 marks the first recorded transaction for a Romani slave in [[Wallachia]], they were issued safe conduct by [[Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor|Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund]] in 1417. Romanis were ordered expelled from the [[Margraviate of Meissen|Meissen region]] of Germany in 1416, [[Lucerne]] in 1471, [[Milan]] in 1493, France in 1504, [[Catalonia]] in 1512, Sweden in 1525, [[Kingdom of England|England]] in 1530 (see [[Egyptians Act 1530]]), and Denmark in 1536. From 1510 onwards, any Romani found in Switzerland were to be executed; while in England (beginning in 1554) and Denmark (beginning of 1589) any Romani which did not leave within a month were to be executed.

A 1596 English statute gave Romanis special privileges that other wanderers lacked. France passed a similar law in 1683.

Since a royal edict by [[Charles II of Spain|Charles II]] in 1695, Spanish Romanis had been restricted to certain towns.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.coe.int/t/dg4/education/roma/Source/FS2/3.3_roundup-spain_english.pdf |author = Antonio Gómez Alfaro |title = The Great "Gypsy" Round-up in Spain |page = 4 }}</ref> An official edict in 1717 restricted them to only 75 towns and districts, so that they would not be concentrated in any one region. In the [[Great Gypsy Round-up]], Romani were arrested and imprisoned by the [[Spanish Monarchy]] in 1749.
During the latter part of the 17th century, around the [[Franco-Dutch War]], both France and the Dutch Republic needed thousands of men to fight. Some recruitment took the form of rounding up vagrants and the poor to work the galleys and provide the armies' labour force. With this background, Romanis were targets of both the French and the Dutch.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://rm.coe.int/western-europe-factsheets-on-romani-history/16808b19e4|title=Western Europe}}</ref>
After the wars, and into the first decade of the 18th century, Romanis were slaughtered with impunity throughout the Dutch Republic. Romanis, called 'heiden' by the Dutch, wandered throughout the rural areas of Europe and became the societal pariahs of the age. ''Heidenjachten'', translated as "heathen hunt" happened throughout the Dutch Republic in an attempt to eradicate them.<ref>{{Cite book |title = Another Darkness Another Dawn |last = Taylor |first = Becky |publisher = Reaktion Books Ltd. |year = 2014 |location = London UK |pages = 72 |isbn = 978-1-78023-257-7 }}</ref>
Although some Romani could be kept as slaves in Wallachia and Moldavia until [[abolitionism|abolition]] in 1856, the majority traveled as free nomads with their wagons, as alluded to in the spoked wheel symbol in the [[Flag of the Romani people|Romani flag]].{{sfn|Hancock|2001|p=25}} Elsewhere in Europe, they were subjected to [[ethnic cleansing]], abduction of their children, and [[Forced labor|forced labour]]. In England, Romani were sometimes expelled from small communities or hanged; in France, they were branded, and their heads were shaved; in [[Moravia]] and [[Bohemia]], the women were marked by their ears being severed. As a result, large groups of the Romani moved to the East, toward [[Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth|Poland]], which was more tolerant, and [[Ruska Roma|Russia]], where the Romani were treated more fairly as long as they paid the annual taxes.<ref>{{Citation |url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8136812.stm |first = Delia |last = Radu |title = 'On the Road': Centuries of Roma History |publisher = BBC |newspaper = World Service |date = 8 July 2009 }}</ref>
=== Modern history ===
Romani began emigrating to North America in colonial times, with small groups recorded in [[Virginia]] and [[Louisiana (New France)|French Louisiana]]. Larger-scale [[Roma in the United States|Roma emigration to the United States]] began in the 1860s, with Romanichal groups from Great Britain. The most significant number immigrated in the early 20th century, mainly from the Vlax group of [[Kalderash]]. Many Romani also settled in South America.

During [[World War II]] and [[the Holocaust]], the [[Nazi Germany|Nazis]] committed a systematic [[genocide]] against the Romani. In the [[Romani language]], this genocide is known as the ''Porajmos''.<ref name="Milton estimates">{{cite web |url=http://www.radoc.net/radoc.php?doc=art_e_holocaust_porrajmos&lang=en&articles=true |title=Romanies and the holocaust: a reevaluation and an overview |website=Radoc.net |first=Ian |last=Hancock |access-date=14 February 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305105001/http://www.radoc.net/radoc.php?doc=art_e_holocaust_porrajmos&lang=en&articles=true |archive-date=5 March 2016}}</ref> Romanies were marked for extermination and sentenced to forced labor and imprisonment in [[concentration camp]]s.

The Romani were also persecuted in Nazi [[puppet state]]s. In the [[Independent State of Croatia]], the [[Ustaša]] killed almost the entire Roma population of 25,000. The concentration camp system of [[Jasenovac concentration camp|Jasenovac]], run by the Ustaša militia and the Croat political police, was responsible for the deaths of between 15,000 and 20,000 Roma.<ref>{{cite web |url = https://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10005219 |title = GENOCIDE OF EUROPEAN ROMA (GYPSIES), 1939–1945 |publisher = Holocaust Encyclopedia |access-date = 27 January 2018 }}</ref>

In [[Czechoslovakia]], they were labeled a "socially degraded stratum", and Romani women were sterilized as part of a state policy to reduce their population.

An official inquiry from the Czech Republic, resulting in a report (December 2005), concluded that the Communist authorities had practised an assimilation policy towards Romanis, which "included efforts by social services to control the birth rate in the Romani community.

The traditional Romanies place a high value on the [[extended family]]. [[Virginity]] is essential in unmarried women. Both men and women often marry young; there has been controversy in several countries over the Romani practice of [[child marriage]].<ref>{{Cite news |date=2003-10-02 |title=Gypsy child couple separated |language=en-GB |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/3159818.stm |access-date=2022-08-08}}</ref> Romani law establishes that the man's family must pay a [[bride price]] to the bride's parents, but only traditional families still follow it.
Once married, the woman joins the husband's family, where her main job is to tend to her husband's and her children's needs and take care of her in-laws. The power structure in the traditional Romani household has at its top the oldest man or grandfather, and men, in general, have more authority than women. Women gain respect and power as they get older. Young wives begin gaining authority once they have children.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Surdu |first1=Laura |last2=Surdu |first2=Mihai |date=2006 |title=Family Life |journal=Broadening the Agenda |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/resrep27094.9 |pages=31–42}}</ref>

In Romani philosophy, ''Romanipen'' (also ''romanypen'', ''romanipe'', ''romanype'', ''romanimos'', ''romaimos'', ''romaniya'') is the totality of the Romani spirit, [[Romani society and culture|Romani culture]], [[Kris (Romani court)|Romani Law]], being a Romani, a set of Romani strains.<ref>{{cite book|title=Inward Looking: The Impact of Migration on Romanipe from the Romani Perspective|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Kl2jDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA38|author=Aleksandar G.

An ethnic Romani is considered a [[Gadjo (non-Romani)|gadjo]] in the Romani society if they have no ''Romanipen''. Sometimes a non-Romani may be considered a Romani if they do have ''Romanipen''.

* Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro – Islam is the dominant religion among the Roma.<ref name="Roma" />
* Bulgaria – In northwestern Bulgaria, in addition to Sofia and Kyustendil, Christianity is the dominant faith among the Romani, and a major conversion to Eastern Orthodox Christianity among the Romani has occurred.

==== Other regions ====
In Ukraine and Russia, the Roma populations are also Muslim as the families of Balkan migrants continue to live in these locations. Their ancestors settled on the Crimean peninsula during the 17th and 18th centuries, but some migrated to Ukraine, southern Russia and the Povolzhie (along the Volga River). Formally, Islam is the religion that these communities align with and the people are recognized for their staunch preservation of the Romani language and identity.<ref name="Roma" />
In Poland and Slovakia, Romani populations are Roman Catholic, many times adopting and following local, cultural Catholicism as a [[Religious syncretism|syncretic]] system of belief that incorporates distinct Roma beliefs and cultural aspects. For example, many Polish Roma delay their Church wedding due to the belief that sacramental marriage is accompanied by divine ratification, creating a virtually indissoluble union until the couple consummate, after which the sacramental marriage is dissoluble only by the death of a spouse. Therefore, for Polish Roma, once married, one can't ever divorce. Another aspect of Polish Roma's Catholicism is a tradition of pilgrimage to the [[Jasna Góra Monastery]].<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.przewodnik-katolicki.pl/Archiwum/2016/Przewodnik-Katolicki-40-2016/Wiara-i-Kosciol/Wiara-po-romsku |title = Wiara po romsku}}</ref>

Romani music plays an important role in central and eastern European countries such as Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Albania, Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia and Romania, and the style and performance practices of Romani musicians have influenced European [[List of classical music composers|classical composers]] such as [[Franz Liszt]] and [[Johannes Brahms]].

Many famous classical musicians, such as the [[Hungarian people|Hungarian]] pianist [[Georges Cziffra]], are Romani, as are many prominent performers of [[manele]].

Another tradition of Romani music is the genre of the Romani [[brass band]], with such notable practitioners as [[Boban Marković]] of Serbia, and the brass ''lăutari'' groups [[Fanfare Ciocărlia]] and Fanfare din Cozmesti of Romania.<ref>{{cite book|title=Gypsy Music: The Balkans and Beyond|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RHRdDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT125|author=Alan Ashton-Smith|year=2017| publisher=Reaktion Books | isbn=978-1-78023-865-4 }}</ref>
The distinctive sound of Romani music has also strongly influenced [[bolero]], [[jazz]], and [[flamenco]] (especially ''[[cante jondo]]'') in Spain.<ref>{{cite book|title=Rethinking (In)Security in the European Union: The Migration-Identity-Security Nexus|page=148}}</ref>

== Contemporary art and culture ==
Romani contemporary art emerged at the climax of the process that began in [[Central and Eastern Europe]] in the late 1980s, when the interpretation of the cultural practice of minorities was enabled by a paradigm shift, commonly referred to in specialist literature as the "[[cultural turn]]". The idea of the cultural turn was introduced; and this was also the time when the notion of cultural democracy became crystallized in the debates carried on at various public forums. [[Civil society]] gained strength, and civil politics appeared, which is a prerequisite for cultural democracy. This shift of attitude in scholarly circles derived from concerns specific not only to ethnicity but also to society, gender and class.<ref>{{cite news |title = Meet Your Neighbors |url = https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/sites/default/files/neighbours_20090615.pdf |work = opensourcefoundations.org }}</ref>

Most of the ''Ciganos'' of Portugal, the {{Lang|es|[[Gitanos]]}} of Spain, the [[Romanichal]] of the UK, and [[Norwegian and Swedish Travellers|Scandinavian Travellers]] have lost their [[knowledge]] of pure Romani, and speak the [[mixed language]]s [[Caló (Spanish Romani)|Caló]],<ref>{{Cite book |chapter-url = https://www.ethnologue.com/language/rmq |chapter = Caló: A language of Spain |publisher = SIL International |editor-first = Raymond G Jr. |editor-last = Gordon |year = 2005 |title = Ethnologue: Languages of the World |edition = 15th |location = Dallas, [[Texas|TX]] |isbn = 978-1-55671-159-6 }}</ref> [[Angloromany]], and [[Scandoromani]], respectively.

There are no concrete statistics for the number of Romani speakers, both in Europe and globally. However, a conservative estimate is 3.5 million speakers in Europe and a further 500,000 elsewhere,<ref name="Manchester_Rom"/> though the actual number may be considerably higher.

* All Romani speakers are [[bilingual]], accustomed to borrowing words or phrases from a [[second language]]; this makes it difficult to communicate with Romanis from different countries
* Romani was traditionally a [[language]] shared between extended family and a close-knit community. This has resulted in the inability to comprehend [[dialects]] from other countries, and is why Romani is sometimes considered to be several different languages.
* There is no tradition or literary standard for Romani speakers to use as a guideline for their language use.<ref name="The status of Romani in Europe" />
== Persecutions ==
{{Main|Anti-Romani sentiment}}
=== Historical persecution ===
[[File:Romani women in jail, Los Angeles, California, 1940.jpg|thumb|Six Romani women in jail, Los Angeles, California, 1940]]
One of the most enduring persecutions against the Romani was their enslavement. [[Slavery in medieval Europe|Slavery was widely practiced in medieval Europe]], including the territory of present-day [[Romania]] from before the founding of the principalities of [[Moldavia]] and [[Wallachia]] in the 13th–14th centuries.{{sfn|Achim|2004|p={{Page needed |date=September 2015}}}} Legislation decreed that all the Romani living in these states, as well as any others who immigrated there, were classified as slaves.<ref>{{Cite book |title = Istoria și tradițiile minorității rromani |page = 36 |year = 2005 |publisher = Sigma |location = Bucharest |author1-link = Delia Grigore |last1 = Grigore |first1 = Delia |first2 = Petre |last2 = Petcuț |first3 = Mariana |last3 = Sandu |language = ro }}</ref> Slavery was gradually [[Abolitionism|abolished]] during the 1840s and 1850s.{{sfn|Achim|2004|p={{Page needed |date=September 2015}}}}
The exact origins of [[Slavery in Romania|slavery]] in the [[Danubian Principalities]] are not known. There is some debate over whether the Romani came to Wallachia and Moldavia as free men or were brought there as slaves. Historian [[Nicolae Iorga]] associated the Roma people's arrival with the 1241 [[Mongol invasion of Europe]] and he also considered their enslavement a vestige of that era, in which the [[Romanians]] took the Roma from the [[Mongols]] and preserved their status as slaves so they could use their labor. Other historians believe that the Romani were enslaved while they were being captured during the battles with the Tatars. The practice of enslaving [[Prisoner of war|prisoners of war]] may have also been adopted from the Mongols.{{sfn|Achim|2004|p={{Page needed |date=September 2015}}}}
Some Romani may have been slaves of the Mongols or the Tatars or they may have served as auxiliary troops in the Mongol or Tatar armies, but most of them migrated from south of the [[Danube]] at the end of the 14th century, some time after the [[founding of Wallachia]]. By then, the institution of slavery was already established in Moldavia and it was possibly established in both principalities. After the Roma migrated into the area, slavery became a widespread practice among the majority of the population. The [[Tatars|Tatar]] slaves, smaller in numbers, were eventually merged into the Roma population.<ref>{{Citation |first = Ștefan |last = Ștefănescu |title = Istoria medie a României |volume = I |publisher = Editura Universității din București |place = Bucharest |year = 1991 |language = ro }}</ref>
Some branches of the Romani reached western Europe in the 15th century, fleeing from the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] conquest of the Balkans as refugees.<ref>{{cite news |title = Gypsy/Roma European migrations from 15th century till nowadays |url = https://www.academia.edu/1132677 |work = academia.edu }}{{Dead link|date=February 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Although the Romani were refugees from the conflicts in southeastern Europe, they were often suspected of being associated with the [[Ottoman wars in Europe|Ottoman invasion]] by certain populations in the West because their physical appearance was exotic. (The [[Reichstag (Holy Roman Empire)#The Reichstag in the Holy Roman Empire|Imperial Diet]] at Landau and Freiburg in 1496–1498 declared that the Romani were spies for the Turks). In western Europe, such suspicions and discrimination against people who constituted a visible minority resulted in persecution, often violent, with attempts to commit [[ethnic cleansing]] until the modern era. In times of social tension, the Romani suffered as scapegoats; for instance, they were accused of bringing the plague during times of [[epidemics]].<ref name="timeline">{{cite web |url = http://www.geocities.com/Paris/5121/timeline.htm |publisher = Patrin Web Journal |title = Timeline of Romani History |access-date = 26 August 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071111142247/http://www.geocities.com/Paris/5121/timeline.htm |archive-date=11 November 2007}}</ref>
On 30 July 1749, Spain conducted [[The Great Roundup of Gypsies (1749)|''The Great Roundup'']] of [[Romani people in Spain|Romani]] (Gitanos) in its territory. The Spanish Crown ordered a nationwide raid that led to the break-up of families because all able-bodied men were interned in forced labor camps in an attempt to commit ethnic cleansing. The measure was eventually reversed and the Romanis were freed as protests began to erupt in different communities, sedentary Romanis were highly esteemed and protected in rural Spain.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://web.jet.es/gea21/mteorico/apuntes/anexo3.htm |title=Cap. 2: 2.1 Apuntes sobre la situación de la comunidad gitana en la sociedad Española – Anexo III.

Later in the 19th century, Romani immigration was forbidden on a racial basis in areas outside Europe, mostly in the English-speaking world. In 1880, Argentina prohibited immigration by Roma, as did the United States in 1885.<ref name="timeline" />
=== Forced assimilation ===
[[File:Bundesarchiv R 165 Bild-244-48, Asperg, Deportation von Sinti und Roma.jpg|thumb|Deportation of Roma from [[Asperg]], Germany, 1940 (photograph by the ''Rassenhygienische Forschungsstelle'')]]
In the [[Habsburg monarchy]] under [[Maria Theresa of Austria|Maria Theresa]] (1740–1780), a series of decrees tried to integrate the Romanies to get them to [[sedentism|permanently settle]], removed their rights to horse and wagon ownership (1754) to reduce citizen-mobility, renamed them "New Citizens" and obliged Romani boys into military service just as any other citizens were if they had no trade (1761, and Revision 1770), required them to register with the local authorities (1767), and another decree prohibited marriages between Romanies (1773) to integrate them into the local population. Her successor [[Joseph II, Holy Roman Emperor|Josef II]] prohibited the wearing of traditional Romani clothing along with the use of the [[Romani language]], both of which were punishable by flogging.<ref name="samer" /> During this time, the schools were obliged to register and integrate Romani children; this policy was the first of the modern policies of integration. In Spain, attempts to assimilate the Gitanos were under way as early as 1619, when the Gitanos were forcibly settled, the use of the [[Romani language]] was prohibited, Gitano men and women were sent to separate workhouses and their children were sent to orphanages. [[Charles III of Spain|King Charles III]] took a more progressive approach to Gitano assimilation, proclaiming that they had the same rights as Spanish citizens and ending the official denigration of them which was based on their [[Race (human categorization)|race]]. While he prohibited their nomadic lifestyle, their use of the [[Caló (Spanish Romani)|Calo language]], the manufacture and wearing of Romani clothing, their trade in horses and other itinerant trades, he also forbade any form of discrimination against them and he also forbade the guilds from barring them. The use of the word ''gitano'' was also forbidden to further their assimilation, it was replaced with "New Castilian", a designation which was also applied to former [[History of the Jews in Spain|Jews]] and [[Islam in Spain|Muslims]].<ref>{{ cite book |first=Angus |surname= Fraser |title = Los gitanos|publisher = Ariel|year = 2005|isbn = 978-84-344-6780-4}}</ref><ref>Texto de la pragmática en la [https://books.google.com/books?id=UnBFAAAAcAAJ&dq=%22Declaro+que+los+que+llaman+y+se+dicen+gitanos+no+lo+son+por+origen+ni+por+naturaleza%2C+ni+provienen+de+raiz+infecta+alguna%22&pg=PA367 ''Novísima Recopilación''.

Most historians believe that Charles III's [[Pragmatic sanction|pragmática]] failed for three main reasons, reasons which were ultimately derived from its implementation outside major cities as well as in marginal areas: The difficulty which the Gitano community faced in changing its nomadic lifestyle, the marginal lifestyle to which the community had been driven by society and the serious difficulties of applying the pragmática in the fields of education and work. One author ascribes its failure to the overall rejection of the integration of the Gitanos by the wider population.<ref name="samer">{{cite web |url = http://rombase.uni-graz.at//cgi-bin/art.cgi?src=data%2Fhist%2Fmodern%2Fmaria.en.xml |title = Maria Theresia and Joseph II: Policies of Assimilation in the Age of Enlightened Absolutism |publisher = Karl-Franzens-Universitaet Graz |website = Rombase |date = December 2001 |first = Helmut |last = Samer |access-date = 3 October 2015 |archive-date=6 April 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150406004922/http://rombase.uni-graz.at//cgi-bin/art.cgi?src=data%2Fhist%2Fmodern%2Fmaria.en.xml }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.everyculture.com/Europe/Gitanos-History-and-Cultural-Relations.html |title = Gitanos.

=== Porajmos (Romani Holocaust) ===
{{Main|Romani Holocaust}}
During [[World War II]] and [[The Holocaust]], the persecution of the Romanis reached a peak during the [[Romani Holocaust]] (the Porajmos), the [[genocide]] which was perpetrated against them by [[Nazi Germany]]. In 1935, the Romani who lived in Germany lost their citizenship when it was stripped from them by the [[Nuremberg laws]], after that, they were subjected to violence and imprisonment in [[Nazi concentration camps|concentration camps]]. During the war, the policy was extended to areas under German occupation, and it was also implemented by other axis countries, most notably, by the [[Independent State of Croatia]], [[Romania in World War II|Romania]], and [[Hungary in World War II|Hungary]]. Since 1942 Romanis were subjected to [[genocide]] in [[extermination camp]]s.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/genocide-of-european-roma-gypsies-1939-1945|title=Genocide of European Roma (Gypsies), 1939–1945|website=encyclopedia.ushmm.org}}</ref>
Because no accurate pre-war census figures exist for the Romanis, the actual number of Romani victims who were killed in the Romani Holocaust cannot be assessed. Most estimates of the number of Romani victims who were killed in the Romani Holocaust range from 200,000 to 500,000, but other estimates vary broadly from 90,000 to as high as 4,000,000. Lower estimates do not include those Romanis who were killed in all [[Axis powers|Axis]]-controlled countries.

The 2008 [[Death of Cristina and Violetta Djeordsevic|deaths of Cristina and Violetta Djeordsevic]], two Roma children who drowned while Italian beach-goers remained unperturbed, brought international attention to the relationship between Italians and the Roma people. Reviewing the situation in 2012, one Belgian magazine observed:{{blockquote|On International Roma Day, which falls on 8 April, the significant proportion of Europe's 12 million Roma who live in deplorable conditions will not have much to celebrate. And poverty is not the only worry for the community. Ethnic tensions are on the rise. In 2008, Roma camps came under attack in Italy, intimidation by racist parliamentarians is the norm in Hungary. Speaking in 1993, [[Václav Havel]] prophetically remarked that "the treatment of the Roma is a [[litmus test (politics)|litmus test]] for democracy": and democracy has been found wanting. The consequences of the transition to [[capitalism]] have been disastrous for the Roma. Under [[communism]] they had jobs, free housing and schooling. Now many are unemployed, many are losing their homes and racism is increasingly rewarded with [[impunity]].<ref name="MO 2012">{{cite web |url = http://www.presseurop.eu/en/content/article/1757331-bleak-horizon |title = Bleak horizon |first = Hellen |last = Kooijman |place = EU |date = 6 April 2012 |publisher = Presseurop |access-date = 6 April 2012 |archive-date = 7 April 2012 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120407105800/http://www.presseurop.eu/en/content/article/1757331-bleak-horizon |url-status = dead }}</ref>}}

Many depictions of the Romani in literature and art present romanticized narratives of the mystical powers of [[fortune telling]] or as people who have an irascible or passionate temper paired with an indomitable love of freedom and a habit of criminality. The Romani were a popular subject in [[Venetian school (art)|Venetian painting]] from the time of [[Giorgione]] at the start of the 16th century. The inclusion of such a figure adds an exotic oriental flavor to scenes. A [[Venice|Venetian]] [[Renaissance art|Renaissance]] painting by [[Paris Bordone]] (c. 1530, [[Strasbourg]]) of the [[Holy Family]] in Egypt makes [[Elizabeth (biblical figure)|Elizabeth]] a Romani [[Fortune-telling|fortune-teller]]; the scene is otherwise located in a distinctly European landscape.<ref>{{cite book |last = Jacquot |first = Dominique |title = Le musée des Beaux-Arts de Strasbourg — Cinq siècles de peinture |date = 2006 |publisher = Éditions des Musées de Strasbourg |location = Strasbourg |isbn = 978-2-901833-78-9 |page = 76 }}</ref>
Particularly notable are classics like the story ''[[Carmen (novella)|Carmen]]'' by [[Prosper Mérimée]] and the [[Carmen|opera based on it]] by [[Georges Bizet]], [[Victor Hugo]]'s ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]'', [[Herge]]'s ''[[The Castafiore Emerald]]'', [[Miguel de Cervantes]]' ''La Gitanilla'' and [[George Borrow]]'s ''[[Lavengro]]'' and ''[[The Romany Rye]]''. The Romani were also depicted in ''[[A Midsummer Night's Dream]]'', ''[[As You Like It]]'', ''[[Othello]]'' and ''[[The Tempest]]'', all by [[William Shakespeare]].
The Romani were also heavily romanticized in the [[Soviet Union]], a classic example being the 1975 film ''[[Gypsies Are Found Near Heaven|Tabor ukhodit v Nebo]]''.
A more realistic depiction of contemporary [[Romani in the Balkans]], featuring Romani lay actors speaking in their native dialects, although still playing with established clichés of a Romani penchant for both magic and crime, was presented by [[Emir Kusturica]] in his ''[[Time of the Gypsies]]'' (1988) and ''[[Black Cat, White Cat]]'' (1998). The films of [[Tony Gatlif]], a French director of Romani ethnicity, like ''Les Princes'' (1983), ''[[Latcho Drom]]'' (1993) and ''Gadjo Dilo'' (1997) also portray Romani life.
