About Roma culture in Europe
The Romani people are believed to have been descended from immigrants from what is today northern India. The name "gypsy" comes from the formerly widely-held misconception that they originated from Egypt. The Romani language is part of the Indo-Aryan branch of the Indo-European languages. This means that it is only distantly related to most other European languages like English and French, and more closely related to North Indian languages such as Hindi and Bengali. There are many dialects of the Romani language, and most Romani speakers are also able to speak the official language of their respective countries.
