The Romanichal (UK: /ˈrɒmənɪtʃæl/ US: /-ni-/; more commonly known as English Gypsies) are a Romani subgroup within the United Kingdom and other parts of the English-speaking world. Most Romanichal speak Angloromani, a mixed language that blends Romani vocabulary with English syntax. Romanichal resident in England, Scotland, and Wales are part of the Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller community.[2]
Genetic, cultural and linguistic findings indicate that the Romani people can trace their origins to Northern India.[3][4][5]
