Nice to read your take on flamenco! When German scholars began to study India in the 18th century, they quickly realized similar etymology between Indian and European languages
Further they found a link: Romani languages bore resemblance to Indian languages, and they discovered their Indian roots. For reasons not quite clear, they left India and gradually spread all over Europe. All this resulted firstly in the recognition of the Indo-European group of languages. Unfortunately there grew some confusion that led to the classification of humans into Aryan (source word for Iran and Eire) and non -Aryan races. Hence the unfortunate racism of the 19th and 20th centuries, which tied in nicely with European slavery and colonization of the world. Anyway, there you are, an interesting story which is now generally accepted.
