What does gypsy mean?

Gypsies first lived in northern India and began to migrate in the tenth century, so that they were scattered all over the world. They are the same nation, but they are called by different names. They are called "Kyrgyz" in Spain, "Bohemians" in France and "Zigang" in Russia and Italy. The British mistakenly thought that these vagrants came from Egypt, so they called them Gypsies. I don't know if I didn't listen, but I really understood as soon as I listened. The English spellings of Egypt and Gypsy are really similar, which turned out to be a historical misunderstanding. Gypsies call themselves "Roma". According to textual research, "Ruomu" originated from "Dom" in ancient India (North India), and Dom was mostly a singer and fortune teller. Dom first lived in Deccan Plateau in central India. Around12nd century, local residents lost their homes due to long-term war. The massive invasion of the Goyle dynasty led to the large-scale migration of Dom people to other countries. Some people wander in India, others emigrate. There are two routes to emigrate: one is to start from India and enter Europe through Persia and Turkey; They first arrived in Greece, and then passed through Romania, Hungary, Bohemia and Germany. After arriving in Germany, some people went to Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Norway, while others went to Britain, Spain and Italy. The other is from India to Persia, then to Armenia, and then to Europe through Russia, and wandering footprints are all over Europe. Gypsies make a living by divination, and tarot cards are one of their divination methods. During the most powerful period of the Vatican, it was the protection of gypsies that made tarot cards spread to this day. For a long time, only gypsies can understand tarot cards, and many tarot cards are based on gypsies' explanations. At the same time, gypsies also developed the divination method of tarot cards, which seems to provide important evidence that tarot cards originated from gypsies. At the same time, some scholars have pointed out that Gypsies are nomadic people who wander around and are unlikely to develop a very systematic philosophy of tarot cards. Their knowledge of tarot cards was learned from other civilizations. Gypsies originated from gypsy nomads in northwest India, and the similarity between gypsy languages (various gypsy dialects) and Hindi can prove this. About a thousand years ago, they began to migrate to Eastern Europe, the Balkans, Hungary and even Spain via Iran, Egypt and Turkey in Asia Minor. Gypsies are a nation, and their life experiences are little known. About 500 years ago, Gypsies migrated to Europe. They live in caravans and make a living by busking or divining people. Because they are mobile, they are often unpopular. The original meaning of the word gypsy is "people from Egypt", however, this is a big misunderstanding. Gypsies-strictly speaking, they should be called Roma-have their own language, which is Roma. Linguists have noticed similarities between the Romani language and the languages of northwest India. Romany belongs to Indo-European language family in linguistics. According to linguistic evidence, Gypsies probably originated in northern India and embarked on a migration journey around 1 1 century. During this period, their languages were influenced by Greek, Persian and other languages. There are about120,000 gypsies in the world, of which about10,000 are distributed in Europe. Gypsies have a unique tradition. They don't intermarry (the age of marriage is 12 ~ 13). Different countries have different gypsy "tribes". Although gypsies have a large population, like Jews in history, they live in scattered places and suffer a lot. During World War II, Hitler sent 500,000 Gypsies to concentration camps to be executed. 1979, the United Nations officially recognized the Roma as a nation. After the end of the Cold War, Gypsies in Central and Eastern Europe were severely excluded, their identity was not recognized and their survival was threatened. Gypsies are largely because their identity is not recognized. Anthropologists and linguists are debating whether Gypsies are a single nation, and it is getting worse. Ensuring that Gypsies are a single ethnic group, not a mixture of many ethnic groups, will help to ensure their legal rights. Recently, scientists from Edith Cowan University in Australia conducted a study. They selected 275 people from 14 different gypsy "tribes" as the research objects. These people have nothing to do with each other The researchers examined their Y chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA. They contain mutant types called haplogroups. As a result, scientists found that all samples in the 14 region contained haplogroup VI-68 on the Y chromosome, accounting for 44.8% of all samples. A similar finding was found in mitochondrial DNA: 26.5% of men carried haplotype M. These people have little difference in haplotypes. Mitochondria help scientists trace the origin of gypsies. This conclusion shows that although Gypsies belong to different tribes, they are still a single nation. In addition, haplogroup VI-68 and haplogroup M are unique to Asians, which supports linguistic evidence. Scientists published the research results in February 20001year in the American Journal of Human Genetics. Researchers at Edith Cowan University said that they will continue to study the singularity of Gypsies, which will prompt some countries to face up to the fact that Gypsies are a single nation. At the same time, because Gypsies are very single (they don't marry foreigners), scientists can determine the pathogenesis of some diseases by studying the genes of this "closed" nation-Gypsies are not ominous symbols, but very precious.
