Hi Nancy,

Although most of us refer to the specific group as Gypsies, they are
presently "correctly" referred to as Romany. Their language is called
"Romani" and it is based on ancient Sanskrit. It is said that this
particular ethnic group originated in India.

If you wish to read more about them, one informative address I found was
http://www.cbfonline.org/missions/unreachedpeople/romany.html

It seems to be a page on a mission site but is informational.
