[QUOTE="rapparee, post: 444489, member: 27942"] [URL="https://www.birmingham.gov.uk/info/20218/equality_and_diversity/698/gypsies_roma_and_travellers"]https://www.birmingham.gov.uk/info/20218/equality_and_diversity/698/gypsies_roma_and_travellers[/URL] Like other minority ethnic groups Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities have their own languages, traditions and customs that guide their way of life and they are passed on through the generations. Within all groups cultural values are strong with emphasis on the extended family supporting each other. It is important to recognise that there can be significant cultural and practical differences between the different groups. The main groups are: Romany Gypsies - people who are thought to have originally migrated from India and arrived in the UK around the 16th Century. Romany is the word that Gypsy people in England and Wales apply to themselves hence the term Romany Gypsy. Scottish Gypsy Travellers – people recognised as a separate ethnic group in Scotland who have much in common with other travellers. Irish Travellers - a distinct group of people within the Irish community going back over a thousand years. Roma - the word Roma is used as a catch-all term for European ‘Gypsies’. There are several distinct groups of people who have come from Central and Eastern Europe. Show People - families with a tradition of living and working in travelling fairgrounds are covered under this heading that also includes people working in circuses. :slap [/QUOTE]
