History of the Romani people

The Romani people, also referred to as the Romani or Romanis, are an Indo-Aryan ethnic group who principally live in Europe. The origins of the Romanis can be traced back to South Asia. They may have migrated north from present-day Rajasthan and Sindh to present-day Punjab around 250 BC. Their subsequent northwestward migration began in the 5th century.
