Roma means "human being" and therefore as a Romanes word includes ALL groups (one could even say it includes gadje)... Romanichal call themselves Romani (or Roma)...
I like the idea for this but am uncomfortable for the push for the word Roma to include all Romanies. It is not correct. Roma does not include Sinti, Romanichal, or Calo Gitanos.
