:''For the Thracian people of antiquity, see Sintians.'' The Sinti (also ''Sinta'' or ''Sinte''; masc. sing. ''Sinto'' fem. sing. ''Sintesa'') are a Romani people of Central Europe.〔(Martha Verdorfer: Sinti & Roma ) 〕 Traditionally itinerant, today only a small percentage of the group remains unsettled. In earlier times, they frequently lived on the outskirts of communities. The Sinti of Central Europe are closely related to the group known as Manouche in France. They speak the Sinti-Manouche variety of Romani, which exhibits strong German influence. ==Name== "Sinti" may be derived from "Sindhi", the name of a people of the Sindh region in Pakistan, a notion popular among the Sinti themselves, although the vast majority of scholars and anthropologists have claimed that there is no basis for the comparison.〔Yaron Matras, 'The Role of Language in Mystifying and Demystifying Gypsy Identity' in: Nicholas Saul, Susan Tebbutt, ''The Role of the Romanies: Images and Counter-images of "Gypsies"/Romanies in European Cultures'', Liverpool University Press (2004), ISBN 978-0-85323-679-5, p. 70.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sinti」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
