Roma Explanation: As far as I know, the word is Roma, no matter whether it is used as a noun or adjective, single or plural. I have not found any examples to the contrary on the page of the European Roma Parliament: http://www.romea.cz/english/index.php?id=servis/z_en_2006_02... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 mins (2009-01-08 11:56:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Actually, Romany is the correct adjective it seems. |

A Gypsy. 2. The Indic language of the Gypsies. Also called Gypsy. adj. Of or relating to the Gypsies or their language or culture. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Romany |
