From Romani to English
We know the Romani language has been infiltrated, over the centuries, by the language of every country we migrated through. What many of us may not know is how much of our language has seeped into the English language.

Romanian Gypsies
Our folki in other countries have got it bad. We, Romani's in the United States, sometimes, take for granted the privelages we were born in, as American citizens.

Famous Romanichal
There are some pretty big celebrity Romanichal in other countries around the world. I found this website that has a pretty extensive list of famous Romanichal. It's pretty interesting, if you haven't seen it, take a look.
