The Roma are an ethnic group of Indo-Aryan origin, found mainly in Europe.[10] In English, they are often called Gypsies. Some Roma, but not all consider "Gypsy" to be a slur. The old word "Chingar" is now rarely used. The Roma are people that left India around 500 AD and entered Europe around 1000 AD.[11]
