Brief introduction of gypsies

Mainstream name: Gypsies call themselves Roma. The word gypsy is a phonetic change in Egypt, which originated from the misunderstanding of the origin of Roma by the British in the Middle Ages. They mistakenly believe that the Roma are from Egypt and are called Egyptians. Different places have different names: the French call it Bohemia, the Spanish call it Flamengo, the Russians call it Zigang, the Albanians call it Evergit, the Greeks call it Agingano, and the Iranians call it Rory. Ancestors: The ancestors of the Roma were Dom in ancient India. In the 4th century, Dom people were known to sing, dance and divination. Dom people did not have a fixed occupation, and were generally despised by other ethnic groups in ancient India. Local farmers of all ethnic groups look down on them and forbid them to get married. Some people speculate that many characteristics indicate that Dom's ancestors should be witches in the northwest of ancient India. The witch class was reduced because foreign invaders gained the dominance of this area in ancient India. Later, many people wandered to West Asia and Europe.
