A gypsy is a member of a dark-haired race which may be of Indian origin. Gypsies live in the UK and most European countries, but very gypsies live in the US.Gypsies typically do not live in one place, but travel from place to place while living in a caravan. In the past, their caravans were pulled by horses, and were usually brightly-painted.
Gypsies do various jobs to earn a living, but traditionally they are thought of as horse traders, musicians, basket makers, and fortune tellers.
In the UK some people do not trust gypsies, and treat them with disapproval because the gypsy way of life is so different from the way most British people live. In the US people imagine that gypsies have an interesting life, travelling and not worrying about money.
Did you know?
Romani is the language of the Gypsies, belonging to the Indic branch of the Indo-European family, but incorporating extensive borrowings from local European languages. Most of its 250 000 speakers are bilingual. It is extinct in Britain
