Gipsy's history
Topic: Gipsy's history
The prevalent theory is that the Gypsies originated in India. Aside from a physical resemblance between the peoples, there are also similarities between the Hindi, Sanskrit and Rromanes (Gypsy) languages; about one word in three is a match, or close to it. The tribal or caste laws and taboos are also noticeably alike. Speaking through an interpreter, Cortes family agree. "Our people left the north of India, where our race originated, between the fifth and sixth centuries." We went in different directions, which created

different tribes with names like Roms, Sinti or Gipsy . We were called "traveling people" because those who lived in the countries where we went did not authorize us to live in their territories." The word "Gypsy" is a corruption of "Egyptian", and it is true that some tribes passed through there on their way west into Europe. By the 15th century, Gypsies were widely distrusted outsiders but useful as blacksmiths and itinerant musicians. Their constant wandering necessitated the creation of strong internal codes. "Our traditions are very important for us." the cortes family say, "As an ever oppressed and pursued community, our children have a particular importance. !"
