Question

Do u know that the xperts realize that Gypsy people are in fact originally came from India several hundered years ago? I was amazed when I learned that. At first they thougt these people came from Egypt so they called 'Gypsy' but when they researched into their spoken language and found that its language is related to Sanscrit. Although their language is not written down, they found it is related in structure to the most ancient language of the indo-european family, sanscrit.

They belive that Gypsy people had been forced to leave rajastan during the 11th or 12th century from Muslim invadng armies. They moved to Iran and eventually ended up in Europe. Off course Gypsy language has many european loan words but these xperts belive were borrowed when they settled in their european homes. Do u belive that Gypsy have words like 'zhao' which means 'go away' just like in...sylheti
