The Romani people, commonly referred to as Gypsies, originated in northern India around 1,500 years ago. They migrated to Europe over several centuries, with the first recorded arrival in the Balkans in the 14th century. The Romani people are a diverse ethnic group with a rich cultural heritage.

In French, the word "gypsy" is translated as "tzigane" or "tsigane." It is also sometimes translated as "bohémien" or "bohémienne."

A gypsy wagon is a traditional horse-drawn wagon or vardo used by the Romani or gypsy people for transportation and living quarters. These wagons are often ornately decorated and designed to be compact yet functional for nomadic lifestyle. Today, gypsy wagons are sometimes used as decorative pieces or as tiny homes.

Becoming a Gypsy is not about joining a specific group or culture, as "Gypsy" is a term that is often considered derogatory and associated with stereotypes. It's important to respect and not appropriate the cultures and identities of others.

The musical "Gypsy" was written by Arthur Laurents, with lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and music by Jule Styne.

Some popular gypsy names include Esmeralda, Katarina, Zara, and Mateo. These names often have a sense of mystery, beauty, and strength associated with them. It's important to be respectful and mindful of cultural appropriation when choosing a name from a specific ethnic group.

Actually, there is no difference. "Vanner" is an American term, coined by the founder of the Gypsy Vanner Horse Society. He tried to make the "Vanners" out to be more special, higher quality and therefore more expensive than than the good old regular cob. In many instances, cobs, gypsy horses and vanners are all cross registered in the three main registries: The Gypsy Horse Registry, the Gypsy Cob and Drum Horse Association and the Gypsy Vanner Horse Society, so obviously they are all one and the same horse. Call them what you want to, they are still known in England as: coloured cobs, hairy cobs, gypsy cobs or just cobs! I know many an English person that cringes at the word 'vanner' - and many a Gypsy eye gleam with the thought of how much they can sell a 'vanner' for! I'll stick with Cob or horse.

something foolish or idiotic is usally termed "rajed" (pronouced rad-jed)

ie, "geiris rajed" would be he's stupid
