The Crimean Roma (also known as Crimean gypsies, Tatar gypsies, Ayuji (Crimean Tatar for 'bear cub'), Krymy, or Çingene,[a] Tajfa or Dajfa) are a sub-ethnic group of the Muslim Roma heavily assimilated among Crimean Tatars[1] to the point that they are often considered to be the fourth subgroup of Crimean Tatars.[2][3] Currently, they live in many countries of the former Soviet Union, including Russia. They speak the Crimean Tatar language and their own Crimean Romani dialect.[4] Crimean Roma traditionally practice Islam.
