Sri Lankan Gypsy people
Sri Lankan Romani people are an ethnic group from Sri Lanka who trace their origins in India centuries ago. They are often called "gypsies", but this term is an offensive racial slur to the Romani people. They are generally nomadic and are found throughout the island. They mostly speak Telugu, also known as Sri Lankan Gypsy Telugu, a Dravidian language natively spoken in the Andhra Pradesh & Telangana states in India. Various governments, NGOs and missionary societies have made attempts to settle them down, and thus some are settled in villages. Amongst the majority Sinhalese speakers they are known as ''ahikuntaka'', while amongst the minority Sri Lankan Tamils and Muslims they are known as ''Kuravar''. They make their living by fortune telling, snake charming and using monkeys and dogs in performances. Those who are settled in resettlement villages are subsistence farmers and farm hands to other farmers. They also speak Sinhalese or Tamil based on their area of settlement. Most seem to be settled in the eastern Batticaloa district. Most follow rudimentary elements of Hinduism, while some are Christians and yet others adhere to Buddhism.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Uplifting the ahikuntaka gypsy community )〕
