Romani society and culture

The Romani people are a distinct ethnic and cultural group of peoples living all across the globe, who share a family of languages and sometimes a traditional nomadic mode of life.[1] Though their exact origins were unclear,[2] recent studies show Kashmir in Northwest India is the most probable point of origin.[3] Their language shares a common origin with, and is similar to, modern-day Gujarati and Rajasthani, borrowing loanwords from languages they encountered as they migrated from India. In Europe, even though their culture has been victimized by other cultures, they have still found a way to maintain their heritage and society.[4][5] Indian elements in Romani culture are limited, with the exception of the language.[6][7] Romani culture focuses heavily on family. The Roma traditionally live according to relatively strict moral codes.[8] The ethnic culture of the Romani people who live in Central and Eastern Europe developed through a long, complex process of continuous active interaction with the culture of their surrounding European population.[9]
