Gypsies
Gypsies have they name from the old claim of coming from Egypt.
Their ancestry goes back to India: Sinthi and Roma
Thus ethnically they are grouped as indo-aryan.
The Dom (also called "Doma" and "Domi"; Arabic: دومي Dūmī, دومري / Dūmrī ; Egyptian Arabic: هناجره Hanagra) speak the Romani language
Interestingly Roman(ⲣⲱⲙⲓ) in coptic means human.
As they belong to indo-european we can recognise parts of that language:
present imperative - ker! ⇔ 𓂓 kar = work
te ker.el -to do ⇔ 𓂓 ⇔ kardan karman … "takecare" suffix -l 3rd person
te ha.l - to eat
The .el verb marker is also common in the Caucasus
Being an Indo-Aryan language, their pronouns are quite European:
| person | singular | plural |
|---|---|---|
| 1.ps | me kerav | ʷamen keras |
| 2.ps | tu keres | tumen keren |
| 3.ps | jov kerel | jon keren |
past tense with +d just like English or some Egyptian:
past conditional - tu kerďalas (ker + d + 'al + as)
Romani is a free word order language[20] and that it allows for theme-rheme structure, similarly to Czech or Hebrew, and that in some Romani dialects in East Slovakia, there is a tendency to put a verb at the end of a sentence:
Odi kuči šilaľi. - This cup is chilly(cold)
Oda šilaľi kuči. - This is a chilly cup.
A form similar to Oda acted as predecessor for our words: This, da(there), esta(is)
