Romani people in Germany are estimated to around 170,000[1]-300,000,[1] constituting around 0.2-0.4% of the population. One-third of Germany Romani belong to the Sinti group.[2] Most speak German or Sinte Romani.

The linguistic evidence has indisputably shown that roots of Romani language lie in India: the language has grammatical characteristics of Indian languages and shares with them a big part of the basic lexicon, for example, body parts or daily routines.[9]
More exactly, Romani shares the basic lexicon with Hindi and Punjabi. It shares many phonetic features with Marwari, while its grammar is closest to Bengali.[10]
Genetic findings in 2012 suggest the Romani originated in northwestern India and migrated as a group.[4][5][11] According to a genetic study in 2012, the ancestors of present scheduled tribes and scheduled caste populations of northernIndia, traditionally referred to collectively as the Ḍoma, are the likely ancestral populations of modern European Roma.[12]
In February 2016, during the International Roma Conference, the Indian Minister of External Affairs stated that the people of the Roma community were children of India. The conference ended with a recommendation to the Government of India to recognize the Roma community spread across 30 countries as a part of the Indian diaspora.[13]
Migration to Germanyedit
They are different Groups of Romani people in Germany. The first record in Hildesheim from 1407 and in Silesia they were already present in 1401 This are the Secanos the oldest are the Sasytka Roma (Saxonian Germany Roma people). Who migrated to the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom in several waves from the 15th to the 17th century. They later formed themselves as Polska Roma in Poland, and thus the Baltic Roma and Ruska Roma (Heladytka (Soldaten) Roma) also emerged. There are also Sinti in Germany who have probably been present in Germany for a very long time. But it cannot be confirmed by the name Sinti how long this Roma Group group has been in Germany, as the name Sinti only appeared in the 18th century. They are different Christian Roma groups like the Lalleri, Kalderash, Čurara, Boyash, Wallachian Roma, Gitanos, and Muslim Roma/Xoraxane like Arlije, Gurbeti, Romanlar in Turkey. Some People of Roma Background came as Gastarbeiter to Germany, from countries like Turkey, former Yugoslavia, Greece, Spain and Italy. Especially Turkish speaking Xoraxane-Roma from Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey, declaread themself as Turks only and are looked as Turks by the Host population. At the Kosovo War in 1998-1999, Romani people in Kosovo, Ashkali and Balkan Egyptians came to Germany[14]
