  • Europe is home to 10-12 million Roma, yet many Europeans are unable to answer the basic question, “Who are the Roma?” The remarkable history of Gypsies, Roma, and Travellers in Europe, beginning over 1,000 years ago, tells a story of diversity, creativity, and survival.

    I recently found out that my family may well be descedents of the Roma. Reports say that my great grandmother was dropped off at an orphanage by 'gypsys' where her culture and language were beaten out of her by nuns. I only found this out after she died, and after several ancestry dna tests we were able to trace my ancestors travels from India throughout Asia and into Europe where they eventually wound up in England.

    Thanks for this quickshot education. Cool video!! I already knew it as I've read about Roma for awhile but I'm grateful as an Armenian that it mentioned where the Roma first went. It's rare that we are mentioned in history. I wonder how many Roma stayed in Armenia and Iran/Persia? I know there are some Armenian & Persian words in the Roma language so it must have been awhile they stayed...but I wonder who didn't get run out by the Ottomans/Seljuk Turks?

Whenever I say “Roma” or “Rom”, it confuses the conversation. I understand that it was made up as a derogatory name, but for some stupid reason or another, I’m proud of it. I once read that it’s origins came from the word Gip or Gyp, meaning to steal.

    I belong to the Scandinavian Gypsy/Romani people. They are named Tater. The word Tater comes from Tartaros, which is Greek for hell, so here they where known as "the children from hell" according to extreme right-winged people. We dont have any form of religion, as the church and governments forced the children of the Tater people and put them in christian homes. Tho today we do not hate on any form of religion, we still keep a fair distance to it (at least my whole family line did).
    Tho we have not been travelers for the last 150-200 years, and had started to settle down in the early 1800, my father's family still faced a lot of hate from the people around. My Tater family name is Palm, but it was lost as the generations went by. We are faire skinned, with blue eyes and cole black hair (I sadly didnt get the hair gene as my mother's side is not romani but of another minority)

      According to ancient Greek mythology, Tatarus (ancient Greek: Τάρταρος, Tartaros) is similar to a version of hell. It is a dungeon of sorts that torture and punishes the wicked as well as being the prison to Titans. Thus, his version of Tartaros is based on the ancient Greek meaning which in modern English is basically hell.

      Hello fellow Tater! What you said is slightly incorrect, the Tater name come from Tartaria (which was sometimes associated with Tartarus) which was an ambigous name eastern Eurasia, particularly eastern Russia. We were mixed up with Tatars. I have old mugshot photos of relatives which say "Tatar race".

I agree as a Romany I know my origins and my dna has been really useful and helpful in so many ways including finding family. I for one would love to know more about the sinti Spanish gitano and the Kali races. Our language is pretty much how he describes romany. But amongst the research I've undertaken based on what I know of my great grandparents and ancestors. The video is fairly representative of my race and culture. It would be really cool is @opensociety could do is make a seperate video on the Kali the Spanish gitano, Sinti, German Gypsy, Vlax did we all originate from India 🇮🇳 my dna seems to reflect thls & I can only say for myself that my family's origins are from India..

      The Economist says Roma live in New York City as anyone else. No one notices them as different from anyone else. Only in Europe they seem rejected everywhere, so resort to living in caravans, begging and telling fortunes of people who feel, often rightly, that it's a scam. If they were allowed to settle, work, and live like everyone else there might be no problem as here. Tell them to emigrate to America. Or give them jobs and houses to settle in . Welcome them. Don't push them out.

Romani and Domari are related, but Tsigani are indigenous to former Roman Empire though mixed with Romani & Domari groups. Tinkers and Travellers have nothing to do with Romani.

    This video is well intended, but pretty bad in my mind. It not only ignored the heterogenous nature of Roma (e.g. Sinti usually speak a version of Romanes that is not mutually intelligable with Romanes variants from further east), but also mostly linked them to Romania and presented them as nothing but victims in Europe and especially World War II. It ignored the many Roma fighting on the Eastern Front on at first both sides (until Himmler made up his mind in 1942) and later only on the Soviet side. Also the Roma are not exclusively of Indian descent, that should be clear from the pure look of many Roma.

    I don't think gypsies (Romani people) brought flamenco music to Spain. Flamenco was born in Andalusia but they are not even sure exactly when. However they do know that it it is a mix of different elements from the music of many ethnic groups that lived in Al Andalus together during the Muslim empire. Gitanos did play a big role in reviving, maintaining and making Flamenco music prominent, but it is not only "theirs" and they did not bring it to Spain.

    I would venture that Roma people could be the first inhabitants of the Sindh, Pakistan (which is geographically close to India). After the progressive Islamic conquest of the 7th-8th century, which also got to Persia and later, Spain, they were left nationless and perhaps were forced to emigrate. But they were not welcome everywhere else.

    Still, despite my positive comment a year ago, this vidoe still has a few problems. "Gypsies" are Roma and other Romani. It's a slur for us and it's our word. No other grew has the right to call themselves "Gypsies". Also, Free-Spirits, Wanderers and Travellers have nothing to do with us. The Irish & Scottish Travellers do not share our South Asian, Central Asian, Cucasian, Middle Eastern and Eastern European heritage. They are just pre-Celtic White Europeans who appropriated very vague and offensive parts of their cultures, while making up their own crap and spreading more lies about us and our origins.

Many migrated in the immediate post-Roman period, to west Wales and were part of the establishment of the early mediaeval Kingdom of Dyfed, where they kept their name of the "walking people" an Lucht Sigil in old Irish...

    So a year ago in August, I spent 5 weeks in Bulgaria, which has a pretty significant 'Gypsy' population. Too bad I didn't arrive at Stara Zagora a few months earlier, when I could have bought a Gypsy bride pretty cheap. While the bride market is a reality, it's not as lurid as it sounds (and, no, I didn't come back home with a bride or two ... though they are fetching). I've encountered Gypsies in Bulgaria, Romania and Moldova, as well as unexpected encounters in Italy and even in the US. Nice people for the most part, if one can generalize. I'd even say nicer than most people who have issues with Gypsies, and, yes, I'm deliberately using the term 'Gypsy,' instead of the PC term 'Roma' or 'Romani.' This is not meant to be an insult, but instead defiance. The word 'Gypsy' only has a negative connotation if you allow it. Me? I think of the Gypsy girl Esmeralda from the Hunchback of Notre Dame, and there was nothing negative about her!
