How did the Roma People get the "Gypsies"?
How and why the Roma people have been imposed under the "Gypsies" form. It is widely known that this adjective for Roma for their appointment is by the majority population of the Roma population.
But that word "Gypsies are never used in the mutual communication between the Roma when speaking in Romani. The conclusion is followed, and that is that in the Roma language there is no word "gypsy", and he is a non-Roma counterpart to label them as people with bad habits.

The name for identifying this people was officially received at the IERU's First Romani World Congress in London in 1971, which decided that this ethnic group should be called a Roma who in Romani means "Man."
It is time and it would be good for these ugly appointments for a nation to be reduced to a minimum and jointly try to eliminate these negative pious names for the Roma.
