Romani people

There are many types of people in the world who do not have specific states that they call their homes. Many people like this have fought and still continue to fight to make it so they have their own place to call home. An example of these people are the Romani people also formerly known as the Gypsies. The Romani people are associated with what is called a stateless nation. A stateless nation is defined as a national group that aspires to become a nation-state, but lacks the territorial means to

many and there are still small societies being found. For this essay, the two ethnic groups that have been chosen are the Roma (also known the Romani) and the Armenians. These two ethnic groups are truly unique and interesting. There are endless amounts of information from history, to beliefs, and current way of life. The Romani People The Romani people, are customarily a nomadic ethnic group, mostly living in Europe and the Americas and originating from the northern regions of the Indian subcontinent

The Romani Language The culture of the Roma, otherwise known as gypsies, encases many cultural values and traditions separate from that of Western culture. A factor of their culture includes their language, which can be defined as a system of publicly shared symbols by which individuals share private experiences. The Roma’s language of inflected Romani, created after from linguistic divergence of the Indo-European proto language, is able to meet all the properties of language as well as being interrelated

and clans, more traditionally known as the Romani. Some more commonly known Gypsy subgroups include the Romanichals of England, the Beyash of Croatia, the Kale of Wales, the Romanlar from Turkey and the Romani from Romania and Bulgaria. The United States is also home to a melting pot of Romani cultures (Marsh, 2013). While each band of Gypsy’s maintain their own distinct attributes and principles, overall as a culture they also share many common

The Romanichal, also known as “gypsies”, are a community of people that originally lived in the countries of Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe and also have migrated to Western Europe in around 1000AD. They were considered nomadic people because they often moved around and found jobs wherever they migrated to but not jobs that paid a lot of money. They often took jobs dealing with scrap metal, cars and other commodities. They also made a living doing seasonal agricultural work, casual laboring

The Roma people also known throughout history as “gypsies” or “travelers”, have had a tremendous impact on today’s society. Today, there are approximately 12 million to 15 million Romani people throughout the world.

The continued investment in so-called “container schools” can drastically hinder the Romani children’s ability to advance to a higher education. It can also become a hurdle preventing this community to gain sufficient employment to survive and therefore be a full contributor to

The Romani have been portrayed in a negative manner in a number of films in the 20th century. Most of these films contain a number of stereotypes about about the Roma which fuels discrimination and fear of the Roma people. These stereotypes can be seen in mysticism, music and clothing. They are seen as evil conniving and frightening in films using magic and sorcery to hurt others. Or they are looked at as mysterious and intriguing.
