What is known now from clues in the various dialects of their language, Romany, is that they came from northern India to the Middle East a thousand years ago, working as minstrels and mercenaries, metal-smiths and servants.

In more recent times the Gypsies were caught up in Nazi ethnic hysteria, and perhaps half a million【C4】______ in the Holocaust.

Today there are an estimated 8 to 12 million Gypsies scattered across Europe, making them the continent’s largest【C7】______ The exact number is hard to pin down. Gypsies have regularly been undercounted, but by regimes anxious to downplay their【C8】______ and by Gypsies themselves, seeking to avoid bureaucracies. Attempting to remedy past inequities, activist groups may【C9】______ Hundreds of thousands more have emigrated to the Americas and elsewhere. With very few exceptions Gypsies have expressed no great desire for a country to call their own【C10】______ the Jews, to whom the Gypsy experience is often compared. "Romanestan," said Ronald Lee, the Canadian Gypsy writer, "is where my two feet stand."
