The Romani, also spelled RomanyorRromani (/ˈroʊməni/ ROH-mə-neeor/ˈrɒməni/ ROM-ə-nee), colloquially known as the Roma (sg.: Rom), are an Indo-Aryan ethnic group who traditionally lived a nomadic, itinerant lifestyle.
The first recorded Romani people in Denmark came from Scotland in the year 1505.[1] Danish police drove out most Roma in Denmark by the 1939.[2]
Based on 2013 data, the Council of Europe has estimated that around 5,500 Romani people live in Denmark (0.1% of the Danish population).[3] The Danish Roma minority speak Scandoromani.[4]
Danish Roma are concentrated in Helsingør and Copenhagen.[5]
