From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The people known as Roma are an ethnic subgroup of Romani people: Members of the subgroup are distinguished by the socio-cultural and linguistic outcomes of a shared long-time European historic experience in Eastern and Central Europe, and in the Balkans.[1][2] The term is used to denote the entire ethnic group, as well as only the Eastern Europe branch.[3]
