The Sinti (masc. sing. Sinto; fem. sing. Sintetsa, Sinta) are a subgroup of the Romani people.[3][4][5] They are found mostly in Germany, France, Italy and Central Europe, numbering some 200,000 people.[1][a][7] They were traditionally itinerant, but today only a small percentage of Sinti remain unsettled. In earlier times, they frequently lived on the outskirts of communities.
Within the Sinti Community are various tribes such as the Manouche in France.[5] They speak the Sinti-Manouche variety of Romani, which exhibits strong German influence.[1][5]
