Romanes is a term that refers to the language and culture of the Romani people, an ethnic group with roots in northern India. The language itself is part of the Indo-Aryan family and has various dialects, influenced by the regions where Romani communities have settled. The Romani people have a rich cultural heritage, including music, dance, and storytelling. Historically, they have faced discrimination and marginalization in many societies. Today, efforts are being made to preserve Romanes language and culture, promoting awareness and understanding of the Romani community's contributions to society.
