Just like other peoples, initially the gypsies had only names and nicknames. Gypsies from the outskirts of the Russian Empire All this happened already in the 15th century, when the European peasantry began to acquire surnames. In search of a better life, their camps wandered around all countries, and where they settled at least for a while, gypsy villages arose. Well, after the collapse of Byzantium, the gypsies began to move en masse to Europe. In the events described in it of the middle of the 11th century, certain “atzingans” are mentioned, which is translated from Greek as “untouchables”. One of the first written sources in which the gypsies are mentioned is called the Life of St.
However, the rich empire was constantly at war, and even then population migrations began. In Byzantium, the gypsies quickly integrated into society and were engaged in blacksmithing and divination. Most of these people settled in Byzantium, another group went through Palestine to Egypt. According to the analysis of borrowed words in the languages of modern European Gypsies, their "gifted" ancestors spent about four hundred years in Persia and then left Central Asia, but not all of them. The first group of ancestors of modern Gypsies in the amount of about a thousand people was presented to the Persian Shah as a token of gratitude from the North Indian padishah. Linguists and geneticists who have studied the origin of the Gypsies have established that the so-called "proto-Gypsy" groups left India in periodic waves over several centuries, from the 6th to the 15th century. But they were formed taking into account the characteristic national features of the region in which a certain gypsy community initially settled. They live in many countries of Europe and America, have their own language, culture, and also dynastic surnames.
Gypsies are an ethnic group of the population of Indian origin.
