The Romani, also spelled Romany or Rromani ( /ˈroʊməni/ ROH-mə-nee or /ˈrɒməni/ ROM-ə-nee), colloquially known as the Roma ( sg.: Rom), are an Indo-Aryan ethnic group who traditionally lived a nomadic, itinerant lifestyle.
The first recorded Romani people in Denmark came from Scotland in the year 1505. [1] Danish police drove out most Roma in Denmark by the 1939. [2]
Based on 2013 data, the Council of Europe has estimated that around 5,500 Romani people live in Denmark (0.1% of the Danish population). [3] The Danish Roma minority speak Scandoromani. [4]
Danish Roma are concentrated in Helsingør and Copenhagen. [5]
