I thought that, since we have a few Gypsy in the room, it would be helpful for both the players, and those interested in playing one, to have a list of the information on the Romani people.
In General, there are TWO Distinct Types of Gypsy. You have the 'Original' who are purely Romanian and come from the Carpathians and some of the closer surrounding areas. Then you have the 'Secondary' who are so widely varied and spread that in truth, the secondary are more the primary kind that people would see and know. Below is the complete list (as far as we can get) of the other types or groups of Gypsy. One thing is common among all of them is that they typically have Roma somewhere in their name, honoring their roots, and it often how one cal tell they are Gypsy in the first place.
Finnish Kale, in Finland the same endonym with Spanish Calé is probably a coincidence.
Iberian Kale, mostly in Spain, also known as gitanos, but also in Portugal, also known as ciganos "Kala" or "kale" means "black" in Sanskrit, neo-Indian languages and the Romani language.They use the word "Kale" for their language, which is para-Romani. For their language, they use the term Caló.
Welsh Kale, in Wales
Romanichal, in the United Kingdom,emigrated also to the United States and Australia.
Sinti, predominantly in Germany and Northern Italy. Sinti do not speak of themselves as Roma, but they use "romanes" as a name for their language.
Manouche, in France. Their ethnonym means "people" in Sanskrit.
Roma, concentrated in Central and Eastern Europe and Italy, they emigrated to the rest of Europe, as well as the Americas
Czech Roma.
Slovak Roma.
Bashaldé or "Hungarian–Slovak Roma", diaspora community in America arriving in the late 19th century.
Other Romani sub-groups include:
Boyash (Lingurari, Ludar, Ludari, Rudari) from Romanian words for various crafts: Lingurari (spoon makers), Rudari (wood crafters or miners) or băieşi (miners) the semantic overlapping occurring due to the homophony of two different notions: in Serbian, ruda ore, hence rudar miner, and ruda stick, staff, rod, bar, pole (in Hungarian rúd and in Romanian rudă, lemma)
Iberian Kale, mostly in Spain (see Romani people in Spain), but also in Portugal (see Romani people in Portugal), Southern France and Latin America;
Churari from Romanian:Ciurari, "sieve makers", Zlătari "gold smiths"
Erlides (also Yerlii or Arli), in Greece
Finnish Kale, in Finland, emigrated also in Sweden;
Kalderash, primarily from Romania – Caldarar tinsmith, tinker, kettlemaker; from there they spread into Bessarabia and Ukraine
Lovari, from Hungary,[98] present in Serbia as "Machvaya"
Lalleri, from Austria and Germany, as well as western Czech Republic ("Sudetenland").
Luri
Lyuli, in Central Asia
Carpathian Romani (or Romungro) from Hungary and neighbouring Carpathian countries
Ursari (bear-trainers; in Romanian urs "bear")
Horahane or Muslim Roma, living in Greece and in Turkey
Ashkali and Balkan Egyptians, Albanian-speaking communities in the Balkans
Welsh Kale, in Wales and the British Isles;
Romanichal, in the United Kingdom, some emigrated also to the United States, Canada and Australia;
Sinti, in German-speaking areas of Europe and some neighboring countries;
Romanisæl, in Sweden and Norway.
No Gypsy is ever treated fairly. Anytime someone so much as sneezes, it's a Gypsy's curse, and they have been discriminated for generations. There are some areas that treat them more fairy than others, America being one of them, as it is the land of immigrants itself. Some area's of Europe and of course Romania still have a fondness for them and admire their skills at various crafts.
In general though, many have been hunted down and prosecuted for crimes they did not commit, these ranging from brandings to death by hanging. It is because of this that many Gypsy have a habit of always moving around, never setting down roots, always being one step ahead of trouble.
