Romani people in Hungary (also known as roma or Romani Hungarians; Hungarian: magyarországi romák, magyar cigányok) are Hungarian citizens of Romani descent. According to the 2011 census, they comprise 3.18% of the total population, which alone makes them the largest minority in the country,[21] although various estimations have put the number of Romani people as high as 8.8% of the total population.[22][6][23] They are sometimes referred as Hungarian Gypsies, but that is sometimes considered to be a racial slur.[24][25][26]
