This was to me very interesting information, as I am working with Human Rights, and among many issues, spreading the terrible fact that the Norwegian governments tortured the gypsies horrendously in Norway, and in Oslo there is a mass grave at Ris grave yard, where gypsies, along with German soldiers kids (Frida in ABBA is such child) were flung into after experimented on them and murdered them; UNNAMED!!!
I am half rom and half white, my family split because of marrying other my oldest brother an eskimo my other brother Irish catholic and my sister armenian, but my marriage was arranged between my father and my husband sooo 28 yrs later no divorce but we are happy but we are everywhere you just dont see us sometimes real gypsy are right under your nose we are very private people but we love you too cant we all just get along!
@candicecossitt Hahah! thats a good one!;) 4 saying.....we are very private people but we love you too cant we all just get along! bless you! sister!;) devlesa!
@candicecossitt I love you,too. I have some pictures of Rom children from Bosnia,my brother,who lives in Canada went to Bosnia to show the world how nobody cares and nobody mention them during the war time in Bosnia. This is a shame ,they are human being,too. They need houses to live and food to survive. If you want I can email you a picture.My mother best friend is Rom woman and I love her.
Paul, a member of Gipsy Kings says on video that they were called Gypsy's because they passed through Egypt from India, in the middle ages people assumed they were Egyptions, unaware of their true origin.Canut, another Gipsy King believes they originated in India.
In about 1500 AD the first Gypsies were recorded in England,in fact they were often persecuted and put to death. The Nazis put about 600.000 gypsies to death.
@eaglerock999 Its not stoped. Inocent people are still being driven out and killed. Even made to sign agrements to never enter back in certian cuntrys. Racial hate and laws agenst seting up camps parking vagans,,, Is slowly putting an end to traveling. I dont want to see the end. People are cruel in europe.
Gipsies not egyptians. they don't look like the coptics. in fact most people in egypt today are arabs and they aren't coptics either. the coptics are the only ones who have a tie to the pharoahs. they're probabaly indo0iranian or turks who maybe migrated into egypt at one time they are )and especially were then_ a nomadic people = that is they moved from place to place. thanks.
@samigo76 Gypsy ... A member of a people that arrived in Europe in migrations from northern India around the 14th century, now also living in North America and Australia. Many Gypsy groups have preserved elements of their traditional culture, including an itinerant existence and the Romany language....gypsy One inclined to a nomadic, unconventional way of life.
Thank you YoSoyZuri. I am trying to compose a reply to Philosophicalish but see it as pointless. Cutting and pasting text from Wikipedia is not Philosophicalish. That is what he has done.
The gypsies did not say that they came from Egypt because the word for 'Egypt' was Greek!
I believe Egypt was called 'Egypt' long time before the Greeks called it that. The ancient civilisation of Kemet is much older than Greece. I am more in to Hebraism than Hellenism. I believe the word 'Egypt' is from the H
The English term Gypsy (or Gipsy) originates from the Greek word for "Egyptian", Αιγύπτιοι (Aigyptioi, whence modern Greek γύφτοι gifti), in the belief that the Romanies, or some other Gypsy groups (such as the Balkan Egyptians), originated in Egypt, and in one narrative were exiled as punishment for allegedly harbouring the infant Jesus. However, as a term 'gypsy' is considered derogatory by many members of the Roma community because of negative and stereotypical associations with the term.
When the 'gypsies' first entered Europe they were mysterious and told people they came from Egypt. They called their camping grounds 'Little Egypt' and their private matters they called 'Business of Egypt' because they knew society folk 'gorgios' were nosy and gossip! Which is SO true.
Two scholars recognised many Sanscrit words in their language and traced the so called 'gypsies' to India.
BTW the English spelling is with an 'i' as in 'Gipsy'. Which is actually wrong.
@Balormengro Education, is a Greek inventions, which Alexander took to the LAMBS of the uncivilised bruts without education. Like all good refinements, and everything that had a Hellenic birthplace. The truth is not yours cause you say it, layman. The word came from the Greek "Gypsy" the Y is an i in Hellenic language. So it is written this way for the LAMBS..
@Balormengro - Gypsies origin don't matter much because their integration in European culture it has meant that they have evolve differently. Gypsies of Romania, Ireland, etc don't play the same music a those in Spain but they are the same nation- the gypsy nation. Flamenco is Spanish-Gypsy folk music!
@mickeytuf yes but not directly in the modern format as far as I know, he played with the founder of the Gipsy Kings, Jose Reyes and went to USA very popular there
@eaglerock999 --I had the good fortune to attend a concert at Carnegie Hall about 30 years ago, the Gipsy Kings and Manitas de Plata performed on stage. I never forgot the preformance--the sounds, and the electricity in the crowd. Obviously I still listen to them as a loyal fan....
The wikipedia entry on 'Romani people' should tell you what you need to know about gypsies. They migrated from India around the 11th century, through the Middle East and North Africa. The name 'Aegyptoi' may have had more to do with the gypsies' appearance and the resident populations' limited knowledge of the world than actual origins.
Irish gypsies (or 'pikey') are ethnically Irish.
In the U.S. we have people who live a similar lifestyle - moving from one trailer park to another.
Another piece of interesting information is that the word "Romani" was used to describe them because the "gypsies" took advantage of the old Roman mercantile law that allowed freedom of travel to anyone within Christendom.
@Reinaert53 The movie "Latcho Drom" portrays their journey from india to Spain through their music and dance Also one can see the Indian connection in their physical and facial features still today.
@Northerncheeks, so true. Also that the folk Rajasthani singing styles are where a lot of the Gypsy and Spanish influences emanate from, not to mention that a large chunk of the Gypsies emanated from India westward escaping the Moghul conversions and embedded into the culture of the countries they came to, yet bringing their influences of passionate music and culture. A passionate input into the world music family.
@Northerncheeks That is the most correct answer!- And the name of the tribe is "Pali". They spread through Europe during the Turks Ottoman Empire invasion of Europe in the XIV century.
