Descriere: Gypsies in Romania and Europe
The Gypsy peoples originate from Sind region now in Pakistan. Their
Rom language is close to the older forms of Indian languages. The three
tribes of Rom, Sinti, and Kale probably left India after a succession of
campaigns in Sind through the C11, initially spending time in Armenia and
Persia, then moving into the Byzantine Empire after the Seljuk Turk attacks
on Armenia. Within the Byzantine Empire they dispersed into the Balkans
reaching Wallachia (1385) (now Romania) ahead of this area falling to the
Ottoman Turks.
