Gypsies or Gipsies are a traditionally nomadic people with their own unique language. They are found on every continent and they call themselves Roma. Their language, Romany, is very close to some languages from India. As a matter of fact, their genetic makeup are only found among Indians and Pakistanis.

It's believed that Gypsies originally came from NW India and then they became divided into three main tribes: the Gitanos, the Kalderash, and the Manush.

In recent times, many nations have attempted to help the nomadic lifestyle of the Gypsies by making sure they go to school and/or learn some skills for work. Even today, though, a lot of Gypsies still face discrimination and poverty. In 2005, the World Bank and some eight European countries came together to offer a ten-year program to improve the lives of Gypsies worldwide.

Gypsies are semi-nomadic, and they have lived in many countries as they do today, but originally they migrated from India. They were called Gypsies because it was mistakenly believed they were from Egypt.---The homeland of the gypsies before they set off for Europe was India.
