Are you anti-racist? Do you think you know who Gypsies are? Or do you have a Rromani background yourself (a.k.a. Romani – ethnically "Gypsy" [not Romanian])? We who inherited the Sanskrit-based Romani language trace our roots to India, roughly 1000 years ago. Others of us don’t speak Romani anymore but are still descended from South Asian ancestors and may very well have the looks to prove it. Or not. This community is for anyone who can read romanes as well as for people who can’t count from ekh to pandj. Opre Roma!
