There are about 6000 gypsies in Finland. They call themselves romani-s.
(No idea whether this is related to Sanskrit roma [rawmah], meaning hair.)
Most romanis in Finland have Swedish family names.
Many gypsies seem to have an exquisite ("Indian"?) sense of rhythm. Well,
loads of
common genes with Spanish flamenco-dancers?
